I attended the US Military Academy (West Point) from 1973-1974. They used the term "boodle" to refer to personal items, especially food, that we kept separate from the items we were issued (uniforms, other clothing, weapons, bedding,etc.), so at West Point the word "boodle" was used in a way that was closer to the original Dutch meaning of property. There was no implication that our boodle was obtained by illegal means.
