Dude, you're missing the point: you're saying that thieves et al are more ...I don't know, 'honest' because they can't hide their bad deeds behind the moral justification of being legal, or being required by the law.
...totally missing the fact that there are plenty of other moral justifications people use that can leave them happy and care free and they break the rules to screw their neighbor over. Re: George Bush. Re: Kenneth Lay. Legal? No. Got away with it? Yes. Screwed people over? Yes. Feel guilty? Not a bit.
