I may, or may not, know someone who, years and years ago may or may not have done some very similar things. The ones who are good at it, and therefore worth employing, don't get caught, so they never get that employment.
Employing the ones who do get caught is more of a self-aggrandizing move by the catchers - "see what we caught? We must be pretty damned good!". Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the ones who didn't get caught and have the real skills are quietly doing night janitorial work, and are still rarely ever seen in daylight.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
