This is pretty much how I view the minds of corrupt people go through.
"I've been loyal, so what's wrong if I just take a little for myself?"
"If only that person hadn't come in, nothing would have happened to me. It's all their fault."
They always just act like what they did is justified and they didn't do anything wrong, seeing their theft of riches as something that they "deserve" and then if they get punished, they just blame someone else for it, thinking that they should be punished for actually doing the right thing.
