Seeing a corrupt system and seeing everyone in on it getting rich makes it feel like running scams on others is fair play. If scams are legal, why not get in on the scams if you already know how it works? This is how the nihilism spreads from the decadent elite to the hedge fund managers who handle their money. They say "fuck it, I'm robbing people to make this guy richer, why not just rob people myself and take much more of the profit if the shit is going to go down either way?" This is kind of like when the Zetas branched off from the Mexican military because they realized that the government they were fighting for was already corrupted by the cartels, so why not get in on the cartel business themselves with their knowledge? It's what happens when certain elements of the scribe class or the praetorian class get tired of the decadent shit that the elites they are working for refuse to stop, and so they turn on them and get in on the same action themselves.
