To be fair to Jace, I believe oftentimes the feds do just throw figures out there without doing any hard math or thorough research. The media is also guilty, it sells papers. But I don't believe that's the case here, 100k doesn't seem farfetched at all.
Absolutely. Especially in these types of cases, gambling case they're notorious for doing that. A bookmaker is grossing $50,000 a week ($2,5M a year), they'll claim he "netting" $50K a week! Thats what sells newspapers and gets these fellas promotions.
But as you say, in this case he was knocking em dead with profits. Thats why he got hammered by the judge.
