Why is someone making that much money stealing a MacBook?

[Hamuko]

Probably started stealing shit before he was making $250k/year, and then just continued to do so because it works.

[rationalist]

The less you have to buy, the more money you have. Or the more stolen goods you sell, the more money you have. Or the more stolen goods you can give to others, the more goodwill you can get with them and possibly favors which can save you money elsewhere.

That’s how they have that much money.

It’s like saying why does the drug cartel leader keep selling drugs, he’s swimming in cash (literally).

That's the fun thing about greed, it is rarely satisfied :/

Are you implying there's a link between having money and being immune to corruption? In the US, just look at the federal government or titans of industry, like Elon Musk.

Psychopathology.

Here's a radical idea... you could... read the article :-O

[an0malous]

I did. Where in the article does it answer my question?

Edit: my bad, see my other comment

The final paragraph:

"Court overtime

For every DUI arrest made, state police troopers must appear in court, and in evidence motions filed with the court, attorneys have said this has led to a staggering amount of overtime pay for Trooper Bradley.

State records show in 2024, Bradley nearly tripled his salary, earning nearly $250,000 in one year."

Ahhh I apologise - I misparsed your comment. I read it as:

> Why is someone making that much money [from] stealing a MacBook

instead of

> Why is someone [who is] making that much money stealing a MacBook

Sorry about that.
