Is there? At the end of the day both boil down to breaking the law. It’s not better to break the law because someone paid you to do so.

Yes, I just described the difference.

It is clearly different because in one case you are not guilty of fraud.

Being guilty of a crime plus fraud is obviously worse than just being guilty of the crime.

Breaking the law by stealing a loaf of bread is obviously different to killing one million people but "both boil down to breaking the law" - I'm not sure that comment contains that much information.
