Does this mean there's a lucrative underground cybercrime syndicate
here in Raleigh that is hiring? Does this crime syndicate attend the
local job fairs? Do they provide dental? Do they have to answer the
census?

Census worker: Your occupation?
Cybercriminal: I'm an Evil System Admin for the local 404 chapter of
the CyberCrime syndicate.
Census worker: I'm putting down "Accountant"
