A truly smart criminal wouldn’t get caught. So you could argue any of the unsolved crimes were “smart”. But equally likely that they were just lucky.

Convincing people to dismiss their crimes as “white collar crap” is the most insidious trick of successful criminals.

You wouldn’t know, would ya?

It’s true often. You don’t hear their story because why would anyone smart want to openly admit to crimes!?

Anything worth gloating about is probably something without a statute of limitations or harms someone that can retaliate anyways.

If you are a good criminal no one will ever know.
