Yes, he could - it is simply cheaper and easier for him to work within a legal framework that is already designed to benefit him at the expense of the people he wishes to exploit. To use your parlance - you gracefully ignore that part.

“Great, now I can finally get that nice house I always wanted that my neighbour is living in.”

Do you live in a country without police, btw? How about you move to one without and see how well it works out for you.
