That being said there are lots of crimes that are +EV though and we don't choose to do them. I don't believe monetary considerations are the only factors that influence human behaviour. I could defraud financial institutions out of a lot of money and since I'm mostly judgement proof and unemployed there would be no real consequences but it is pathetic behaviour. Self-respect >>>> money.
Though this is a spot where self respect might actually be worth more than the money, you're the last person in the world who should ever be telling people the value of a dollar. Or worse, telling people that the reason their preferences may differ is because they lack integrity, self respect, generosity or some other garbage trait that you try really hard to convince people you possess.
