I found myself wondering on similiar lines... Why do I find crimes of greed rather obnoxious in real life and wish Avon had gotten his millions of credits in his scam? I think it's because I focus on the 'so rich no one could touch us line'-- in my personal view, Avon was stealing to ensure his (and Anna's) safety from the Federation, rather than greed. How do other people react to Avon's attempt at embezzlement?
