I'm a lawyer too, so I have good reason to know what you say about con artists being too greedy or dumb to know when to stop is usually true. Not always -- I've heard of cons who knew enough to retire rich in an Arizona ranch rather than behind bars, but I'm sure those are exceptions rather than the rule.
I've researched the Hatto case pretty thoroughly, and I've come to suspect that they wanted to see just how far they could push it before they were found out (which might well have happened only after both of them were dead, of course). My theory is, rather than being greedy or dumb (which I admit is the usual case, as in your examples), they wanted maximum revenge on a musical establishment that had (in their view) rudely and arbitrarily pushed her aside. I suppose getting the full measure of revenge would require getting found out and becoming front-page news at some point, to embarrass all who had been had.
And you are absolutely right about the improbable size and scope of her discography, even when recorded over a long career, much less the 13 years in which the Hatto recordings were supposedly made.
