So, they trained Bob as if he was working for them and they were overseeing all the scenes that involved their company. looper.com/966582/… | |

And my point is that it wasn't trying to be a con artist again that got him caught. Instead, what got him caught was (1) getting made by some strangers in a mall; then (2) trying to keep them quiet by teaching them how to be con artists. // It was these random strangers (and associated complications) that ultimately led to his downfall. | |

If he'd just gone straight to that source of income, rather than taking a lower-profile job, it seems likely that he would have just gotten caught sooner. | |

Gene then initially requests another identity change, before changing his mind and deciding to try to keep Jeff quiet by teaching him how to hustle/scam. | |

I think this is probably the best explanation. But unfortunately in-universe, his working at Cinnabon seems a bit inexplicable to me. | |
