#13The best ROI would be to rob a bank. Whether or not you could keep that $100K is another matter entirely. Robbing banks with a gun is not much different from people (aka 'banks') robbing you with a fountain pen, ethically and legally speaking.

You'd have to rob a lot of banks to get to $100K, however. And the FBI is very effective at catching bank robbers. It would be pretty low on my personal list of illegal ways to get money.

I ran the numbers for fun once, including porn and "sugar baby" and honestly I think it pays terribly. It's probably in the "high waitress tip" range but way below tech. If your only skills are being pretty, your best bet might be ASMR on YouTube.
There's also a lot of marketing needed. It's hard enough to sell SaaS or whatever, how do you sell something that's free in large quantities? If you have marketing skills and are willing to show skin, you could probably make money faster selling submarines.
It's a bit like acting, sports, drug dealing, novels, where a tiny minority make extreme incomes and most lose money on it. Even then, the top extreme of hard and smart workers like Sasha Grey make less money than say, Notch made from Minecraft.

#18$10 will get you one share of AMC right now, and if the hedge funds ever close their short positions, the result could be $100,000 per share.
