[ Nate himself is quite good at relishing the criminal mastermind role, when he's not busy smarting from the death of his son or his father. Or just being a belligerent drunk, really.
Or wanting out because of realizing that he can't continue conning forever. ]
Either that or projection. Living vicariously though their muses because they lead less than exciting lives outside of their computer screens.

[ As cliched and overused as that phrase was, it really was the only thing even remotely fitting to the mundane problem. ]
And the more bored they are, the more outrageous their methods of curing their boredom become...
