I have read that in many criminal enterprises it is much like business, where grunts at the bottom have lower income and lots of hours, and most of the risk (exposure). I think this guy is a grunt, probably at the same level of structure of a 2 employee business. when i read through his comments i am struck with the impression that he has passivly attempted legit employment that use the skills he has learned but has not been sucessful yet. he probably has his initial goals set to high. if he starts at the bottom somewhere, given his supposed skill level he should be promoted quickly. just need to put in the time. if not patient enough, put that effort into consulting. given the real return on his enterprise, i agree with your assesment that he can probably make much more with a real legitimate job and just avoid that risk altogether.
