It is quite amazing to me. Steinberg takes the approach the he is owed money by his benefactors. He gets pissed when it doesn’t go his way. If he had an ounce of smarts he would take the saintly approach and graciously thank those money givers so the money spigot would stay open.
People (even those who are very socially skilled) can only hide their true character for so long. Eventually the mask slips. Gene has very limited social skills and seems to have very little self control so it doesn't take much for him to reveal himself. He may be a conman but he isn't a good one.
