He's probably just as smart as he is greedy. Hopefully we can find a way to put is brain to use in prison. It would be fun to give him the resource he needs to work on hard problems.
the main thing he needed was the audacity.. chutzpah... effrontery to ignore the consequences and commit whole heartedly.
He was always going to get caught, and he ignored that.
Leaving aside whether he would actually be capable of much more than additional grift with those resources.
