Both.  The knowledge was what he used to commit them, and the notoriety of
their criminal activity is what landed the movie deal, and likely the attention of
some PR flack at CMP.

Hollywood's glorification of bad guys for ENTERTAINMENT and the security
industry's use of bad guys in the PROFESSION shouldn't be mixed.  We need
trust, and we shouldn't give it to folks who abuse trust.  At what point
do you trust what you're being told by a convicted trickster?
