To use another example, if I was pathologically dishonest, I would prefer doing business with honest people rather than others like me. I’d certainly prefer honest dedicated subordinates to scheming backstabbing ones.
I’m not sure if the metaphor fits (and this is fictional evidence), but Ocean’s Eleven (or whatever number it is now) is about a team of thieves. They all have an eye on the common goal. It would not make sense for them to recruit non-thieves to the team because a “honest law abiding person” might turn them into the police.
When they’re doing business (robbing people) they prefer non-thieves, who are easier to rob. But when they’re putting together a team for a heist, they prefer thieves. (This seems to make sense game theory wise.)
