You cannot be intelligent and a criminal at the same time. Intelligent people don't engage in crime while criminals are just idiots who think they are smart than everyone else.

Do you even know what you are saying?
Of course. Lack of intelligence is what would point one at criminality as a way out of his situation. Intelligent people on the other hand have the capability of thinking through their situation and charting the best way forward. Your question is no different from what bonobos ask themselves when they see an honest civil servant who refuses to steal funds aimed at a common good. Wanamuita mjinga mwenye hajui kujisaidia. Unknown to them, the civil servant has the mind and intelligence to understand the consequences of his actions on the larger society.

You are confusing intelligence with morality, those two concepts are not the same. And morality is relative, what is considered criminal in one society is considered heroic in another. And not all criminality occurs due to lack of intelligence.

And you are confussing inteligence with cunningness. Morality is relative and so is intelligence. In Kikuyu culture of today, an intelligent man is he who steals with abandon given an opportunity. Try that in English culture and you could as well be the most stupid and useless dog shit coz utashikwa upelekwe kuchunishwa.
