It was stated above that they made 1.2 million a year. That's WAY less than we made on our TGP's each year. And trust me, 1.2 million a year sounds good...but it ain't a lot of money. Especially when you have 3 or 4 partners to divide up whatever is left after paying the bills.

So if their "dreams" are to be lower middle class and in debt for big fines imposed (over 3 million so far) and having their freedom taken away for a year and with a business model that can't survive...then yeah, they are living their dreams.

Smart thing to do would be to make TBP legit NOW while it has a ton of traffic and sell it for an astronomical fee to a large company looking to up it's internet presence.
