Amazingly, porn attracts the lazy and the criminal as well as the slutty and vacuous. I know. Who'd a thunk it? So for every honest, decent hard worker in any area of the biz, there'll be 10 thieves in the background at every single level (from mismanaged accounts down to infected talent masking by self-medicating, for instance).
