    If you've fallen on hard times or just fancy a career change what type of criminal activity would you get involved in to pay the bills? Would it be selling drugs, phishing, insurance scams maybe, a confidence trickster, a pimp, good old fashioned robbery? A politician maybe as most seem to think they're the biggest crooks in the country? Endless opportunities to make crime pay so what's it going to be?

    I think maybe I'd go for armed robbery, stick 'em up kinda thing.

    A modern day war criminal, but not as bad as Bush or Blair ~ more your Ariel Sharon, murder a few thousand unfortunate Palestinians from time to time and right before facing justice I'd have a stroke and die in old age.

    But since the worse I've ever done in life is get three penalty points for speeding, I'd probably just be a speeder collecting penalty points from time to time.

    According to the RSA free speed surveys 98% of drivers break the law.

    You can get up to five years for having a recording device in a cinema. Like a cameraphone. And there are lots of other copyright laws we may have inadvertently broken.

    Lots of people haven't paid their TV licences or water. And has anyone received money from friends or family without declaring it for tax ?



    We are already criminals.

    Tony Soprano. I reckon I'd be good at it. Wouldn't **** around on my bitch wife and make her be all "mwaaah, TONY", wouldn't get all mickey-swingy-competitiony with people and cause all sorts of problems for myself, just quietly and politely engage in some handy extortion and gambling stuff from a distance and definitely redecorate my house and eat a bit less food and enjoy myself.

    The crime genre in film is odd.

    Take "HEAT", a bunch of murdering bastards who kill minimum wage workers for money yet we root for them. At least I did. I wanted Kilmer to get away.

    But when its on our doorstep bank robbers are scumbags.

    A sociopathic serial killer with a heart of gold.

    Drugs .......... the money comes fast and easy and there's plenty of it!

    The goal would be to set a target figure, get that amount and get out before you get too big to be ignored by the other piranha's in the pond ......... the Gardai aren't really a problem as you'd practically have to hand yourself in before they'd notice you ........ even then it takes years for them to complete their "investigation". :rolleyes:

    Once out, with the planned amount of profit, you need a plan to clean the money ....... either a small business (think chipper, corner shop etc.) that, on paper, is hugely profitable for a couple of years before selling up and retiring once you've managed to bank enough cash ......... or a small legitimate investment that gives you a steady reliable income without having to work too hard.

    The problem is, once you're in, the business/money gets addictive and you end up forgetting about your exit plan ........... then one day you're retired by a competitor and you're worse off than ever!

    Serial Killer, not so much for money, more for the love of it.

    They say it's important to want to go to work in the morning. So it would be more a vocation and to hell with the money.

    We are already criminals.

    Speeding and downloading movies illegally isn't going to put bread on the table though is it? Not paying taxes or not being caught and fined for speeding and the like will help cut costs but you need to make some money too!
