The earning potential of Nazi hunting depends entirely on how you approach it — legally, journalistically, digitally, or as a private investigator. Here's a breakdown of the different paths:

---

🔍 1. Official Legal/Investigative Roles (Low to Moderate Income)

Government war crimes units (like Germany’s Central Office for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes) offer modest civil service salaries (e.g. €40k–€80k/year depending on seniority).

UN war crimes tribunals or human rights bodies sometimes fund similar roles for genocide/human rights investigations.

Not lucrative — more mission-driven.

---

🕵️‍♂️ 2. Private Investigator or Digital Forensic Analyst (Moderate to High)

If you specialize in tracing extremists, crypto, and online threats, you can:

Work for counter-extremism think tanks or NGOs (salaries: $60k–$120k+),

Sell services to journalists, lawyers, or security firms,

Or operate freelance, charging $100–$300/hr for deep OSINT (open source intelligence) work.

Cyber threat intel jobs in the private sector are booming.

---

🎤 3. Investigative Journalism (Low to Moderate, but with Impact)

Writers who break major exposés (e.g. The Base, Atomwaffen Division, etc.) often:

Work at nonprofit outlets like ProPublica or Bellingcat,

Earn $40k–$80k/year depending on grants,

Supplement income via speaking gigs, books, Patreon, etc.

You won’t get rich, but you can become respected, funded, and influential.

---

🧑‍💻 4. Hacktivist/Whistleblower (Zero to Infinite, Risky)

Groups like Anonymous or decentralized digital sleuths often do it for moral reasons, but:

Bounties or donations (via Monero, BTC, etc.) can generate income,

If you expose a high-value target, you can sell stories or data leaks.

⚠️ Legal risk is high — depending on jurisdiction and methods.

---

🧿 5. Truth/Justice Tech Platforms (Startup or Bounty Models)

You could build or participate in platforms that:

Use blockchain to prove identity or fund whistleblowers,

Run bounty programs for extremist exposure (proof-based),

Offer subscription intel services to journalists or policy makers.

💸 Potential: scalable if productized — $100k+ possible with the right backers and niche focus.

🪓 TL;DR Brutal Breakdown

Path Income Potential Risk Notes

Govt/Legal Investigator $40k–$80k/year Low Stable but slow

Private Investigator $60k–$150k+/year Medium Skills in OSINT, crypto tracing = $$$

Journalist $40k–$90k/year Low Impact > income

Hacktivist $0–Uncapped High Legally grey/dangerous

Founder (Platform/Tool) $100k+ if scaled High Risk Most upside, most grind

If you're serious about it — I can help you spec out a justice bounty model (Bitcoin-native, anonymous proof drops, Lightning payouts, etc.) tailored for exposing hate groups or war criminals.
