Matt Levine is a famous columnist for Bloomberg who publishes insightful posts like this, quote:
following the law is a low-variance strategy, while ignoring it is a high-variance strategy. If you construct a comic-book supervillain lair and build a mind-control ray as part of a plot to take over the world, then there is a chance that you will either (1) rule the world, which is very good, or (2) be captured in a military raid and imprisoned in an impregnable island fortress, which is very bad. If you don’t do that, you cut off those tails of the distribution.
