There’s nothing else for me to tell or show you. I’ve provided examples and links to some of the things he’s intended to profit off of. I can’t make you see it if you choose to not believe any of it.

Bob Lazar doing self-promotion for his scientific supply company during an interview to help his business profit.... noooooooo
As I already said his motivations are not important to me, it's a distraction from the fact that his story is highly flawed and doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Can you please provide evidence thst he made a lot of money by selling tapes, movies story rights, model ufo kits, signed posters and a charge for speaking engagements?
If you watch the video of Lazar's accelerator, he has radiation warning signs posted around it apparently to advise people to not get too close while it's in operation. I can't say how dangerous the radiation from his accelerator is without knowing much about it other than seeing that video.

Is this the type of accelerator that can cause lots of damage? Knapp claimed Lazar was going to use it to blow himself up.
Agreed.

Anyway, this whole to-and-fro on the money aspect is pretty moot. BL has made money from this story, we can't prove whether that was his motivation or not.
The money motivation thing is a distraction from the real issues. His motivations aren't important, what's important is that his story doesn't have merit because he doesn't know enough physics to ever get hired as a physicist, and any physicist who interviewed him for a position would figure that out within 5 minutes of asking him physics questions. Numerous physicists have already said so.
I suggest looking at and into things that can be proven, such as some of the other points in this thread, rather than the money motivation aspect. Not trying to be condescending (in case it comes across that way), just suggesting this thread move onto other aspects....
I doubt it was his initial plan to leverage his fame to promote his United Nuclear business, but I have wondered how successful his united nuclear business would be without his fame. I think that he's wearing that shirt shows at least his belief that his exposure will help his United Nuclear business, which he probably made more profit from than his UFO fiction.

My personal theory is that it all started as a bit of a joke between BL, JL, KG et al.
They probably didn't expect it to gain as much traction, interest and, therefore, scrutiny that it did. But by that point it was too late. If exposed as a hoax it would possibly ruin GK's career or at least his reputation would be tarnished so they had to continue it. As a result, despite the number of times and angles it's been pulled apart from, they continue with the charade and have all done quite nicely off it or off the back of it's success/notoriety (there's no such thing as bad publicity etc). Again, just my own opinion.
