Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.

Summary

It implies that some individuals derive satisfaction or personal gain from engaging in illegal activities, regardless of the potential consequences. This could highlight the subjective nature of "rewards," where individuals might find fulfillment or thrill in engaging in wrongdoing, even though society generally considers crimes to be morally and legally wrong.
