Of course bad actors exist in every profession, but gambling attracts more of them, because it presents itself as a way to beat the system, make money without doing legitimate work, etc. Plus there are a lot of marks and suckers in the ecosystem.
You could make a longer list of CEO's simply because there are far more people doing legitimate work. But given the population of professoinal gamblers (probably a rounding point on the population as a whole, .1 percent or something), the number of scandals in poker is ridiculously disproportionate. And that's not surprising at all.
