needdiamonds: There are various psychological states that a person can be afflicted with that can explain RA's compulsive lying and behaviours.

It is very possible that he really believed that he could never be held accountable for any of it, that he was untouchable.

Thieves and con artist do not reason and think like normal people - they justify everything they do and make every excuse known to man and make up some new ones too - on the way thru life

RA used
The marine corp
The chamber of commerce
His kids
Grandkids
Charities
just to name a few
As his excuse and justification for stealing
imo
sooner or later they all get caught - because they can't stop themselves from the easy money

The whole thing is so sad. I do not understand the motive of a CEO to steal like this? He knew he would be caught no?

I suspect he didn't know that. He's had a pretty long run, after all. And like a great many penny stock con artists, he's probably a sociopath. Thinks he can talk his way out of anything.

The sad fact is the vast majority of penny stock scammers get away with it. RA was simply too greedy for too long.
