He was making $10k / month cash for one botnet client alone. Factoring in CA taxes that's $16k+ he'd have to be paid at a regular job. He was making a lot more money than that from renting it to others and other undisclosed hacks. Besides, it's not just the money.

For context L5s make 33k/mo before taxes. L7s ~66k. L8s are easily in the ~80k+ territory. The bands also get MUCH wider in L6+ land with lots of overlap.
