If I manage to earn enough money during the ice raids and invest it properly and increase my wealth enough to ditch work forever, I’d say it would be a good exchange.
Low level thugs tend to not earn that much money. Also applies to organized crime. There’s always superiors taking a cut.
Going with follows you for the rest of your life, it could easily be that a later regime decides to hold you accountable for having been part of ICE. (Funny thing though, in Germany, the Nazis who got sentenced earlier tended to get more lenient sentences, assuming they weren’t at the top. For example, Hans Bodo Gorgaß, vergasungsartzt in Hadamar, who was after the war convicted of 1000 counts of murder, got out after 11 years and got to live a mostly normal life afterwards. Today teens who worked as Death Camp guards get life sentences. Though, those “teens” are by now in their nineties, so life sentence is not that long)
