This guy is no genius when it comes to crime is he!!Though I was surprised to see that a steelworker earned over a 100k a year in the US.I think that was the point when he discovered the rock bottom of addiction-unfortunately now it looks like he will be going to prison for quite a while.

Yeah, I am not sure that's not a typo - I mean steelworks is a very hard physical job to do but I can't see these people earning over 5k/month even with double shifts etc. and that is a really good wage in the US for just one. 100k as a steelworker especially when the chinese pushing the prices on the market down every year in steel is insane.
I also agree that the amount of his yearly salary is not realistic there, but I could see that he's not just gambling addict he might be the game Grand Theft Auto addict too...

100K here 100K there, does it really matter how much he earned- he gambled everything away anyway... and then a lighting struck him on the head and he decided that a couple of used cellphones and thongs somehow gonna wipe that 100K loss away and he can live happily ever after.

From watching the American news I thought the wages in the United States had declined massively,mainly because of the Obama immigration policies but maybe we can't believe everything Donald Trump says!!
