Reference:
have the Midas touch
kada se nekome novac prosto "lijepi za prste" (za razliku od onih kojima on "biježi")
Takođe "soft: easy money"
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/have the Midas touch
have the Midas touch
Fig. to have the ability to be successful, especially the ability to make money easily. (From the name of a legendary king whose touch turned everything to gold.)
gravy train bi bilo zanimanje ili izvor prihoda podoban za gore navedeno "lijepljenje"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gravy train
An occupation or other source of income that requires little effort while yielding considerable profit.
S tim da po mom mišljenju, objašnjenje dato u pitanju ne odgovara potpuno samom izrazu "zalijepiti se za prste" iako je "easy money" uglavnom "dirty money"... pa evo još opcija
make a fast/quick buck
- to make money with little effort
The young man is very lazy and he is always trying to make a fast buck.
ill-gotten gains
- money acquired in a dishonest or illegal manner
