It's also partly due to them tending to be more international, meaning they are more likely to live in a different timezone. The "outside of business hours" explanation is still a valid explanation but definitely not the whole story. Overall, I'd caution that when building fraud detection models understanding the stories behind the data is extremely important, or you risk having an algorithm that works for the wrong reasons. For example, if suddenly your user base because more international (for example if you start allowing non-US users to use your website), you'll suddenly have a lot of false positives if you're not cautious because to your system it'll look like they're "operating outside of business hours".
