I was listening to an episode of CBC's Outfront and the tittle of the show was "Drive Into Darkness" with revolved around a man detailing his short career as a driver for an escort service. Essentially the chronology of how he got into it, some anecdotes about the job, the impact on his family life and ultimately his arrest on a sting resulting in his being charged with "Living Off The Avails".
One fact he repeated was that he was making around $1000 - $1500 a week in straight cash. Considering he still had his day job I found myself questioning his argument that he got into the business because he needed a little extra cash, $50k - $75k a year in no tax cash is a fairly substantial pay day on its own so how much money did he really need.
Secondly does anyone know if this amount is realistic? Why would anyone be a cabby if that kind of money was available?
Anyone have any info to confirm or deny?
