good earner 

Mafioso slang for a mob employee who is a hard worker and of good value to the family. Typically someone is considered a "good earner" because they bring in more money to the organization than they take out. An employee could also be considered a good earner if he/she exhibits a special skill set, such as a keen ability to remember numbers, or being very good at killing people.
People inside the Gambino family wanted to whack John Gotti early in his career because of some outlandish stuff he pulled, but they kept him around because he was a good earner.

Paulie? Why you fuckin wanna whack Paulie? Paulie's a good earner. You're not fuckin whackin Paulie.

earning a good bit of bunce 

It's cockney (i.e. from London) rhyming slang for earning money. Bunce is derived from bunsen burner (a common piece of school laboratory equipment that produces a single open gas flame and named after Robert Bunsen) and this rhymes with earner.
It was tough work but I was earning a good bit of bunce .
