Profitably raising scandal?

Hi all,
I have been inspired to compose a grand opera. It's gonna be amazing, but certain society elements may find it a little objectionable. Okay, they may as a body lift me up and carry me to the docks.
Right now, though, I have a sterling reputation without a hint of scandal. Knowing that I am about to max out my scandal, though, I wonder if perhaps I might profit from ruining my reputation a bit before my opera hits. Is there some great profit to make for someone who is wiling to take up many points of scandal?

I think most of the actions that give Scandal + benefit are opportunity cards. Off the top of my head: Siding with Hell in a conflict card vs the Church; a City Vices card that grants Making Waves cp equal to current Scandal, as well as some wine; and posing for the Repentant Forger.
I'd say the last one is a bad deal for most players, now. it does give better epa than standard actions (2-3 echoes), but you're turning down ([base shadowy] * 0.02) echoes, and a criminals favor as well, on the same section.
However, I'd also mention shaking hands with a rubbery man depending on the situation. With a large stockpile of warm amber you're turning down a nice prize, but with a small stockpile, and no intention to perform the actions that increase it, you're going to need to start taking scandal someday, why not now.
Drinking black wings absinthe by yourself is actually a faster way to boost shadowy and dangerous, if you already have the absinthe, than second chances grinding. It also gives 1 cp wounds & 5 cp scandal. however, you should look at aegis' post: this is a +X scandal, go to tomb colonies, not a "set scandal to X". the latter can exist, but are not common.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.
