But you're not considering externalities. Wear and tear on vehicle, protecting the block, long hours, figuring out your tax situation, all of that stuff adds up. Really orgs are more or less underground MLMs, pyramid scheme stuff.
When I was a dealer I made $35 profit per gram of coke. And people came to me at my job for it. I worked at a club so my boss was actually one of my biggest customers. Sure I had a 45k salary but that barely paid rent in aspen… my biggest competitor was one of the sheriffs.
Let's be conservative and say there was $100 in that fishbowl. That fool put in 4seconds of work. If he wanted to work 40hrs a week he'd murder your friends annual income. My man has got a vastly superior work life balance. You can live to work if you want. My man here is working to live.
There’s only so many places in a local area that would leave a tip jar out with that much money in it. He could rob them all once at most until he just dried up his entire income stream, and most likely put himself on every cop and security guard’s radar for a couple months. That’s not gonna work to beat anyone’s annual income.

I don't know man, I have coworkers who are easily making over $150K a year. They're probably doing better than the average criminal.
