Interesting question!
I don't know anything about this particular group leader, but that part about "...Whatever group leader suggest we just follow...." is quite revealing as newbies (and even non-newbies come to think of it!!) just by instincts follow anybody who takes charge.
This I see ESPECIALLY happening on mongering forays overseas as foreigners do tend to stick together as a sort of primal need for pack-protection when in strange landscapes. And oh, this "bonding" of guys who are out together on monkey business - amazing how even the most sensible can suddenly trust someone he just met!
And even these group leaders - I've also seen how some guys who did NOT start off wanting to take advantage of anybody transform into full fledged undercover agents. They start off just organizing mongering forays, take charge as nobody else takes up the job, handle the money which everybody trust him with, realize that establishments he takes his group to treats him special, and at the end of the trip, everybody not only thank him, they lavish praise on him!
Grateful guys treating him to the odd meals/drinks, the few dollars odd change from rough splitting of bills (which nobody is concerned about) etc. turns into meaningful sums, and then comes the hush-hush entreaties from providers - and PRESTO, the birth of an undercover agent!!
