I think when you look close enough, you'll find that it isn't money. It is about attempts to feel powerful and in control, increase self-esteem, cuddle the ego, feeling desirable, prove that they "can make it" and so on. Money is a big placeholder... > Otherwise it is very difficult to explain certain people decisions to lie > and cheat on others to gain maximum profit from that. Not really difficult. Just look close enough. Which of course is usually not possible if you don't know that person personally yet know something about their decisions (like it is with politicians and other celebrities).
