The dilemma is that on one side I am fascinated by a guy like that on the other what he is doing is obviously wrong from at a legal point of view.

He is not just a criminal who do what he do because he have no choice. He could have been doing "good" and still be highly successful.

It's not just the skills it's the guts to do what he do. To live a life that is almost crazier than any story you can think off.

In some ways he is an artist.

With regards to the Austrian people you are missing the point. That star is not just made through hard work from the Austrian people. I am pretty sure that diamond didn't come from Austria although I could be wrong of course.
