But would dishonest people want to help out the fraudster either intentionally or subconsciously because they empathize with them? |

Their behavior is built on valuing self over others, thinking they won't get caught, and rationalizing that they deserve to have what they want. This logic does not extend to some other guy who has been caught and is now in the process of being publicly challenged. But they will understand why and how he did it, whereas a 100% legit honest upstanding citizens with no fraud experience will credit nonsense defense arguments like "oops sloppy record-keeping" or "this otherwise competent and experienced person forgot that you can't just make up numbers."
