This kind of things make me wonder why I am honest and poor (I mean not rich to the millions, I am not actually "poor"). I could do scams like this and be rich by the minute...

You said it yourself: You're honest. Take pride in that and keep being you.

I have just enough knowledge and just enough free time to maybe pull off one of these kinds of scams, but two things stop me: One, I have to look at myself in the mirror every day, and two, even if I set my morals aside, given my luck, I'd be the one Apple finally decides to make an example out of and sends the feds to my doorstep.

    This usually has more to do with honest people not being good/experienced at being criminals, rather than luck.

Honestly can very much mean making less. The rich are not often associated with "giving" but rather "taking".
