Management, are People with legitimate access. I stand by my statement. The
access can also be indirect. Not to long ago a truck was robbed which
contained tapes with credit card information. The thieves left other
merchandise on the truck, strongly suggesting that they had someone on the
inside. If so the person would just had to have known when the tapes are sent
out.
I don't know of any DBA that has been convicted let alone charged with
information theft. The opportunity is there especially at sites which deal
with a lot of PII.

Do you have something to back up that statement?
Most white collar crimes are committed by management,
upper management at that.
I offer as evidence the folks that end up going to prison for it.
While I have heard of a DBA stealing data for illicit gain,
it seems to be pretty rare.
