What is the difference between "hard earned" and not?

Well cartel money for example, depends on the definition of hard earned but I don't quite imagine for example the japanese Yakuza to deposit into banks/stock markets for example, I am not sure but I imagine something like gold/cash being used.

Maybe you can argue that yakuza is making hard earned money but imo, they are doing illegal activities within the law and are doing something more closer to extortion.

Ironically, in a sense, what AI did in a sense is also an extortion.

One is just legal (barely, I am not even sure how or why), the other isn't. That was my intention to highlight when I said hard earned money.
