No single words, and nothing that seems too interesting in German, but there's a good Cantonese phrase that encompasses that sentiment:

殺人放火金腰帶，修橋補路無屍骸

shā rén fàng huǒ jīn yāo dài, xiū qiáo bǔ lù wú shī hái

Roughly, “murder and arson earn a gold belt; doing good deeds (lit. building bridges and repairing roads) leaves no corpse (i.e. no one can find your body to bury properly).
