 Cybercriminals who hit a jackpot payday tend to fall victim to the same issue that befalls lottery winners and professional athletes.

Nobody seems to understand just how easy it is to blow a hundred million dollars.

 Sounds like a job for science. Give me $100,000,000 and I'll take some time out of my schedule to test your hypothesis.

 That’s cause most people still think $100 million  USD is a lot of money

 There are a few of us that know and appreciate the value increase of their Bitcoin for later in life when actually needed 😉

 the psychology behind that is quite simple. you grow up in the so called lower class. the money that comes in would never be enough to rake up 100M. If you turn to crime or the lottery and actually make that 100M you still have the mindset that 100M is more than you could ever earn, therefore it's also more than you could ever spend...
