Grinding echoes at almost PoSI levels?

I've recently started trying to grind money for better gear, but I've been having some trouble doing it. In the appropriate gear, I have 136 Watchful, 102 Shadowy, 95 Dangerous, and 100 Persuasive (Yes, I know I"m unbalanced). What's the quickest way to earn money at this point?

A good option for an action sink (for POSIs, anyway) is the 5-action POSI option under "Preparing for a Big Score" in The Flit. If you have a Gang of Hoodlums you can use their 5-action option instead.
These give boosts to Casing... , which, assuming you're not planning to leave London (which would reset the quality) can be saved and used later in Thefts of a Particular Character. Stealing Tales of Terror is a good option, as converting those upwards gives Making Waves boosts.
Obviously the Affair of the Box and the War of Assassins are more profitable, but this is a useful method where you have limited time or are on a phone and don't want to spend ages clicking through a series of options.

First off, don't worry that your stats are unbalanced. That's normal and not terribly important.
30 points ahead isn't all that unbalanced anyway.
If you still have content to explore, I would suggest you explore it and the Echoes will make themselves.
Just about all actions give some kind of reward and naturally exploring the game should get you all the Echoes you need.
Don't worry about "grinding" at all until you've hit a content barrier. There will be plenty of time for that later.
You don't want to do anything dull and repetitive while there is still so much story left.
There isn't any equipment so crucial that it can't wait.
