Floyd Gondolli: I like butter in my ass, and lollipops in my mouth, but that's just me.
Trivia: Loosely based on the events of porn legend John Holmes' (died from AIDS-related liver failure in 1988) life.
Question: The paper bag full of cash from the failed doughnut shop heist - Buck takes it and it's implied he funds his stereo business with it, but would that bag really hold enough cash for what he had planned, even considering money went further back then?

Answer: No - it is implied he put the money into his bank account, qualifying him for a loan. In the time the film is set, that is certainly possible.
Yeah but wasn't he denied a business loan earlier in the film?
Perhaps with the donut money, he was able to qualify for a loan in a lesser amount, or the added money in his bank account raised his creditworthiness.
