Now I don't mean robbing stuff and selling it on.
Let's say you had been in prison and upon your release you wrote a book about your experience. Wouldn't that technically be making money from your crime? * +

I think there was a Tory MP who did this. Jonathon Aitkin?

Let's look at it differently. I have a car crash and the other motorist dies. I write a book, 'My Nightmare Journey'.
I'm profiting from someone's death... * +
