As an unemployed CS grad, I think most of us understand the risks of cybercrime. Developing an illegal platform that generates enough income to live off of, while avoiding the authorities and living in a first world nation, is something very few people can pull off.

What I see in my unemployed peers is a proclivity to simply give up. For many this means rotting in their parents basement, for many others it means suicide. The ones who continue to struggle through dead-end jobs openly display violent fantasies, sexual depravity, support for fascism, and other deeply concerning antisocial behavior.
