99% of criminals are stupid opportunists by nature, That is great because the minimize damage and get caught. I fear smart criminals like the Unibomber and the Sacramento East Area rapist. They have the intelligence and patience to cause mass damage and go uncaught for decades. Your garden variety criminal is moron level intelligence.
Correct.
And then there are the genuinely intelligent ones who not only are never caught, but the crime is never found out. I mean how many times as some odd some of money just ‘vanished’ in the labyrinthine accounting systems of some massive corporation or governmental agency? You know, a misplaced comma here, a phony account for merely a few million at the Pentagon that never gets even noticed.
