A friend and I used to go to this one Chinese restaurant pretty frequently and
I noticed that if we paid with plastic we'd get a big scowl. One time I
commented on it to him, he laughed. He's Chinese and his family used to own a
Chinese restaurant. Apparently when people pay with cash only about half the
time does the money make it to the books. ALL credit and debit card
transactions make it to the books...

Sounds to me like a guy who got used to cheating whenever he could as a cop and
still being thought of as "upstanding". The police motto seems to be "if they
can't prove you did anything wrong, everything's fine".
I can tell you that cash receipts not making it into the business bank account
or claimed as revenue is common small business practice, but I always had the
feeling that the former cops were more likely to do it than the others.
