Most frequently though, Lucius was absent, off doing whatever nefarious deeds he was up to. Draco wasn't a fool, he knew that his father and all his business partners were criminals; the morality with which he was raised was hazy at best. The line between the legitimate and the criminal seemed a semantic argument to Draco as a boy. Laws were created to control people and some people just didn't want to be controlled. As far as Draco’s logical mind was concerned, crime seemed to only be problematic if you got caught. Draco was simply convinced that he himself would mess it up and get caught. Therefore, he should not commit crimes.
