Ok who says shadowrunners have to be sinless and broke? I don't see it
anywhere
that someone running the shadows has to be poor. Matter of fact one of
my PC's is
quite rich actually and still runs. The big thing is he picks the runs
he accepts.
It's not about money it's doing the right thing not because some Johnson
offered me
money and I need to pay the rent... You seem to he makes a great deal of
money in
the art of making money and he even spends karma to build the nessary
skills.
He is semi retired from shadowrunning but when push comes to shove he is
still a
shadowrunner and the saying goes you have old runners and bold runner
but few that
are both.

This is ture and did happen in the game it was even roll played. We
don't need to
run for money but what about makeing a real impact so to speak.

Never Appeal to a man's "better nature" he may not have one.
Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.
