There have actually been a few studies that show that career criminals and very successful businessmen share many of the same personality traits.
I think the difference is that succeeding in business is hard. You have to be willing to get in and grind away. Crime gives you instant gratification.
I once watched a documentary about gang members in Little Rock, Arkansas and one of the guys said something like, "Why should I go work my ass off at McDonald's for minimum wage when I can sell drugs for a few hours and make more than I would earn in a week at the job?"
