** The ''Phantom of the Night'' web event has two members breaking into a mansion in Fontaine with intentions of robbing it, only to find the owner dead and signs that the place has been cleaned recently. They decide to [[RobbingTheDead loot his corpse]] and keep going further in to find more valuables despite the numerous red flags (which his lackey notes beforehand) before running into said owner's killer Arlecchino, who then kills the both of them [[EvenEvilHasStandards out of disgust for their actions]].

* CutLexLuthorACheck: The material their insignias are made of is apparently perfect for making machine parts that are both hard and flexible according to Garcia, which would allow them to make more legitimate profits if they sold that off instead of robbing and stealing all the time. Zig-zagged in that they ''have'' tried, but are too greedy to ask for a reasonable selling price even if it's for only a few insignias.

* MuggingTheMonster: Two members suffer really bad luck in the ''Phantom of the Night'' web event when they attempt to break into and rob a mansion in Fontaine, only to find the owner dead at the hands of Arlecchino who then kills the both of them out of disgust for their actions.
-->'''Arlecchino:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Avarice is a deadly vice... Even sheer indifference is preferable to greed. Good night, gentlemen]].



* PragmaticVillainy: The main reason Treasure Hoarders can operate on a worldwide scale is because they value caution and typically decline to take on high-risk high-reward heists lest they catch unwanted attention from local law enforcement. Otherwise, it is [[AwesomeButImpractical impractical for them to steal valuables in a highly populated area.]] Indeed, they debunk the Traveler's suspicion that they are planning [[spoiler:an arson operation]] precisely because that is something that would attract attention and get the authorities breathing down on their necks.

* FreudianExcuse: He became a poacher after failing to get into the Akademiya, needing the Mora for his research and possessing the desire to shut up those who looked down on him. He later tries to claim that [[BlatantLies his actions are the product of childhood mental trauma]] before the Traveler tells him to stuff it.

** One more competent member aided by a couple of lackeys was able to capitalize on the instability in Inazuma to pull off a large-scale heist, stealing Mora from the treasuries of several samurai. What's more, they get away with it, as they bargained for their freedom in exchange for a box owned by a man the Traveler was investigating. [[spoiler: As the box only contained [=IOUs=], the Hoarders lost nothing.]]
** Even if individual members are easily taken down and are mostly a nuisance, they are still a ''transnational'' organization covering all of Teyvat, making them on par with the Fatui, the Abyss Order, and the Adventurers' Guild in terms of influence. They also manage to maintain presence in Inazuma despite the Sakoku decree, meaning not only did they brave the storm to reach Inazuma, they successfully broke through the government blockade.
