He found Double-Jesus in prison.

I had a cousin that was like that. Get arrested, come out all Jesusy, some family member would be dumb enough to believe it, take him in, and get a bunch of their electronics and firearms stolen for crack money. At one reunion a bunch of them were talking to each other about it while I sat completely dumbfounded nearby. Eventually I couldn't contain it anymore and said something to the effect of "How stupid did you have to be to believe it after the first ten times he did it?" The answer, of course, was "But he said he found Jesus and was turning his life around!".

TLDR: They do it because it works.
