People can earn six figures and still be living paycheque to paycheque, and up to their ears in debt.

Now he's up to his ears in debt and a felon in his original country, plus he's not likely to get another six-figure job from any country willing to do a background check. I hope that extra $95k was sufficient to set him up for life.

I don’t think that changes the equation any? If you are underwater on 100k/year, you sure as shit are going to end up underwater on 95k for the entire rest of your life…

If you're so financially fucked that you can't live on 100k/year then you're still be fucked even with an illicitly obtained extra 95k.

Crazy how many people try to find excuses for crime. There's people living on fractions of that that don't commit crime. No, income is no excuse.
