St. Maarten Private Eye

Politics is "not worth it anymore" for Louie? Should I take it literally? Does the statement mean that now, under the prosecutors' microscope, he can't profit from my position of a politician? No more back-room deals, no more quid-pro-quo, no more outright bribes. Does he mean that he can make more money running my businesses from the outside (with the help of his buddies who would still be running the government?)
