But that's where you're wrong; he wasn't chasing cash. He was chasing survival. How much he stole and how rich he got wasn't the point, it was how he could survive.

We don't even know the kinds of things he stole before Cinder got her claws in him; how do we know he didn't steal petty things like clothes or food or parts to fix/upgrade his weapon so he could beat off other street thugs who wanted to steal what he had?
