They do not care. The very reason they go in is to grab as much as they can.
Once in a while there is one or two who get in and do the right thing. But even they get sucked into the cesspool of corruption the longer they stay.
Some go in and stay just long enough to get their perks and retirements, the rest to rob as much as they can.
