You are correct in your sarcasm. 
It is greed and addictions !
Years ago a composite of embezzling in Alaska revealed, at that time, most of the embezzlers were women who did bookkeeping who had addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling or shopping.
Have no idea, thirty years later if this holds true or not. It is thought of as a "white collar crime" instead of a crime committed by a greedy person or a person with addictions. "Blue collar crimes" like burglary is pretty much the same crime but it is viewed differently.  Maybe because the "white collar" criminals can afford better legal representations ?
