There are tons of scammers with more money than their victims, they don't stop scamming.

Exactly.

For an easy example of this, look at religious con artists masquerading as faith healers or "health and wealth" preachers and whatnot. They flaunt their affluence while profiting off of the backs of the poor.

Once scammers and other criminals get a taste, they're not going to stop just because they've got more money than their victims.

Ask Nigerians how they feel about economic opportunity living in a low trust society full of scammers.

I hope you’re aware scammers don’t have a moral code (they are most likely to be sociopaths) and do not exclusively target the wealthy.

Often the most likely victim of a scammer is their neighbor.
