Coke dealers do not make "profits" even though the money fits your
descriptions

Unfortunately coke dealers can make a lot of profit. The fact that coke
dealing is illegal even raises the possible profits as they get paid for
the risk of getting caught as well as the actual work.

Do you seriously think people would run the risks involved in running big
illegal enterprises without the potential for big profits? Illegal profit
is still profit, even though it can be more difficult to use for further
investments (wich is why there are services specializing in money
laundring).

hier money is called EVIDENCE

If they get caught it's evidence, yes. And if the evidence is not returned
to the dealer (probable if (s)he is convicted), it's no longer profit.
