* AndThenWhat: Presuming he's telling the truth about his intent to pay his debts to the people he experimented on, and turn himself in to the authorities, he's still leaving the world a considerably ''worse'' place than when he came into it. His "burning passion for the truth" has led him to build a very large and very well-funded organization of kidnappers, rapists, thieves, murderers, and various types of madmen, all of whom have committed atrocity either under his orders or for fun, if not both. None of them are going to be eager to hand over their ill-gotten gains, or let themselves be taken into custody. In fact, the organization has enough funds and personnel to be its own country, and when the Thin Man turns himself in, it could well start a war.

* MoralSociopathy: His self-righteous nature goes beyond all reason. When it's pointed out to him that he's committed so many atrocities that nobody is going to care if he's a man that pays his debts, and turning himself in will only lead to his public execution, he admits that the population ''should'' and would hate him, but he pays it all no mind "because he's doing what he thinks is right."

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Taking full advantage of the LaserGuidedAmnesia to which he subjects his "candidates," he has fervently ''not'' paid any of them the money he promised for their "consent" to his organization's experiments. He has rationalized that "showing up after having been missing for days with bits of their memory missing" ''would be made worse'' if they showed up with bags of money too. Like a compulsive gambler with a massive debt, he "promises" that "once the truth gets out," he'll not only pay what he owes, but turn himself in. Maytag is right to believe that he's lying to himself.
* ConsummateLiar: For a man "with a burning passion for truth," he is very quick to lie to anyone and everyone, the moment it's convenient. In fact, his first words to Maytag were a bald faced lie. The reason he usually gets away with it is that he makes himself believe his lies are true.
