That would explain the printing press in the back room.

I'm starting to think that Jack might have a slight problem somewhere in that mind of his since this is about the third name he's used since appearing in the strip.  Still, he isn't going to let something like that keep him from pursuing a successful life of crime, and it seems that he's either producing counterfeit bills, or is involved in some sort of money laundering scheme.  I'm a little confused with the Kingpin's initial comment, though, because the way it's phrased, it sounds like they took B.O. to the cleaners and all he has left is a measly three-quarters of a million dollars when in reality they fixed it so that he would win a large amount of money.  I also think that he's worried about nothing, which could turn out to be a problem, since it seems that so long as they keep giving B.O. sacks with dollar signs on them, or just plain old regular burlap sacks, he's more than happy to store his winnings at home.  (I also think that Jack is wrong about B.O. being bank illiterate.  I think that it's more likely that the bank won't let him inside because of his criminal past.)  
Boy, Tracy sure looks tired, doesn't he?  I think it might even be starting to interfere with his work since he could have easily said that first thought about B.O. getting the cash fair and square out loud and kept the "I think," to himself instead of keeping both thoughts to himself.  (Besides, who knows, the Zol/slime hat might have given the old man the ability to read minds.)  It also looks like Tracy has once more decided to put a member of the public in danger by trying to persuade B.O. to wear a wire.  I guess he's thinking that since everything worked out okay with the doctor, what's the worst that could happen to B.O.?  What's the worst that could happen indeed.
