Why? It's just drugs and electroshock treatment. It messes them up for a time, but they can literally take almost anybody and split their mind to get what they want. But they seem to be selective for some reason as only a few make it to the "billion dollar babies" list.

That's probably why all the trouble. Imagine finding out you got cheated out of that list and had to live a mediocre life for something that literally anyone could do but for some arbitrary reason you didn't get the job? Imagine if you could get revenge for that.
