I think if you stick with gambling, loansharking,vending machines, and other cash intensive businesses as a base,and maybe expand into protection and construction bid-rigging as well as some legit business infiltration,you can take down a good deal of cash.

Stay away from drugs,interstate or international wire fraud,and other major Federal crimes that carry major prison time,and I'm sure that a figure of $100,000 a month would not be too far fetched, assuming you have the drive and street sense.

I also think that a soldier has more potential to earn than an associate, given his Family's backing and the respect he commands on the street given his "made" status.

I factored in the usual "kick-up" percentage,plus general expenses,(bribes,etc.)
