Hi guys, I received a fine for overdrawing my account, well okies, I'll just pay the fine, right? Wrong.
I transfer the money, like I'm supposed to, but i still receive a "not payed" message when i reply. I know I'm doing this write because i hacked the bank account and can see my transfers in the log, I've now payed upwards of 2500C for a 500C fine! Can someone help me please!

It does go crazy sometimes.
The best way to solve this is not being fined. :)
Be careful.

So... There's nothing I can do then?
If the deadline runs out will I get my gatewat revoked? :(

Nevermind, I totaled my account anyway, I got caught doing a bank hack and didn't backup properly ;)

Oh well, back the the start

Nah, if you don't pay then they'll start a process against you and then i think you'll get an entry in your criminal record. But i think that's all...not sure though. Make a backup and then deny to send the money. Tell us what happens. We(or at least I) am curious.
You know... i can get atomic weapons for 40 Million $.
Hell! If i buy 6 i even get a discount!

About the bank hack, Stupid me forgot to cover my tracks for the bank hack. I made a backup about 5 real time minutes before the 'feds catch up with me, I quickly randomly click servers and connect to the bank so i can delete the incriminating logs. Only thing was, I forgot the route through InterNIC ;) Its almost impossible to save myself, I either get busted for the fine (which i get kicked off uplink for, by the way) or the Bank hack.

Just wondering, If i got a self destruct add-on and a motion sensor could I stop the feds from arresting me for the bank hack, at least?
