There is some crucial context to that scene in episode 2: Frank felt personally responsible for the death of the women by loosing them in the stacks. The quote "next time the Greek's got something breathing in them cans, I need to know it" only relates to avoiding another mistake like that (which ofc wasn't the real cause of death, as we learned later on). The smuggling, including human trafficking, went on. What Nick and Ziggy are doing on the side is on a much lower level. You can tell by the money they made it wouldn't be nearly enough for Frank. Both business relationships are going on simultaneously.
It's not just that the money isn't enough for Frank, it's also that thieving hurts the union that Frank is trying to protect. Containers being stolen hurts the shipping companies far more than a few extras being smuggled onboard does. The money Frank makes goes toward keeping his people paid and lobbying politicians to get them more work in the future. Thieves damage that by potentially scaring the ships away, and that's a risk they can't take when things are as bad as they are.
The thumbnail makes me smile :)
