With the amount of ISK and manpower spent here, I'm sure we - or anyone with a sense for the game for that matter - could come up with even better ways to make money in a less obvious way.
Cause that's what this is really about here. Most of the posters here and other threads are merely concerned that it's BoB who's doing it and not them. And when there's something you can't beat ingame (due to lack of determination, organisation, titan and most likely the skillpoints to fly it), the forums remain. 
I'm not a bob fan, nor do I like BOB but I think you are so damn right!
The jump bridge module uses a lot of fuel in and of its own. add to that the mass of 3 freighters and that thing is sucking up fuel like a tornado sucks up tumbleweed.
The jumpbridge module also has a very limited range compared to jump drive modules.
Add to that the risk they take of losing they're titan/freighters by an enemy force (if not by CTD).
Soon in Kali 2, this is going to be a lot more dangerious.
Lots of cash is spend here in order to gain lots of cash. therefore I agree with Aeon Yakati that if you spend (30B
+ 4B + (fuelcost) + (Trading goods) your risking a HUGE sum of ISK to try this with a relative minimal gain.
So I guess they'll be risking between 50-70 billion for each trade run, now that gives 2.2 billion income per run.
I'd say the profits here are in line with that of running a pos, where the profit is only a small margin of the isk spend in getting it going. And the risk of losing it to a bad decision, running out of fuel or being attacked, ext.) are sertainly there.
And be honest here, its sertainly a lot fairer than a 2 man gang collecting up 2 billion in a complex per day.
------------------
(spending between 50-70 billion (low estamite)) to gain a 2 billion Income Per Day (in roughtly 1.5 hours)
compared to
2 man gang gaining 2 billion per day by taking down a lvl 10 complex while having to spend nearly NO ISK to do it while the amount of ISK your risking is a lot lower. (in roughly 3-5 hours)
