You can only lose your good reputation once
This is true - many years ago, a couple of IT contractors that I worked with got convicted of stealing stuff from our employer (it's hard to argue when several bits of kit secretly marked with SmartWater turn out to be in your house..).
Post-charging and conviction, I don't think they ever got an IT contract again. Not many employers are going to trust someone convicted of stealing from employers..
