It's amateur hour. There's a sort of paradox: It's actually easier to steal a lot more money. The problem is that draws eponentially more attention and the likelihood of getting caught grows to the point where it's pretty much guaranteed.

If they'd done $1M nobody would have heard about it, nobody would bother investigating too thoroughly, and they'd just shrug and move on.

The "pro" thing to do is to take your $1M and walk away even though you know there's more money at that tap.

There's a lot of casino cheats that talk about their craft. The good ones work extra hard to give the constant illusion of losing money which helps them win a little bit more without drawing too much attention. There's a whole art to knowing where the line is and not crossing it, flying completely under the radar.

That's what professionals do.

You only become a pro when you actually get money.

Really? I'd agree if he weren't caught.
