(4) is a terrible idea. At the very least you'll need to do it without letting them know what you do, without letting them know that you do something, and without even letting them think that you might do something. Associating with other criminals is a great way to get ratted out. It is also a great way to put yourself on the radar of law enforcement in the first place, so even if you don't hint to your new 'friends' that you are up to something it is still risky. Here is a better idea: keep it as white collar as possible (no hitmen) and pray for minimum security.
