I think banking should be changed. When a withdrawal is made, perhaps a percentage is taken for "bribes" or something. As a Real Life banker, I can only imagine that back in the day, the mobsters weren't just walking up to the teller window and making large cash deposits. They were probably greasing a few palms along the way. 

The added benefit to this change is that families can have a "family banker" who can take a smaller cut (or none at all, depending on the Don's rules) to keep the money safe for family members. Other families would try to figure out who this person is so they can roll him or even whack him to eliminate a family's bankroll just prior to an attack. This could have some really interesting second and third level consequences. Thoughts?

I like the idea,  it could also be a nice way to take a little cash out of the game.

Hm...With some fine tweaking, this could actually turn out to be a damn good idea.

We've modified the laundry code to work invisibly behind the scenes -Squishy.

this is a refence to a previous game change. a series of changes were implemented, the end result being that when you withdraw money from the bank, a small percentage is taken out, money launddry style.

Really? Because I get what I take out, with no cut for anyone... Still think this is worth a look-over :3

This was done before and the whole user base went mental.

I think if it was explained within the bounds of cannon that this could still work. The key is to make it part of the story (bribes, etc) AND to offer a solution (human bankers).
Report Post Tip
Also, I agree. I take money out and I get exactly what I put in. No cut is taken by the bank.

That is a great idea Jonny. I like it. I think it'll make things a lot easier in the long run for people and CLs and such. And like you said, it would be more realistic.
Report Post Tip
Given the talk of taking money out of the game recently, I thought this idea might be worth another look.
Report Post Tip
Agreed.... I like the idea as well seeing as hiw this would make things more realistic but how likley is it to actually be put into the game ?
Report Post Tip
I think it is something that is likely. If I am reading a previous post correctly, it looks like they thought this was already in the game, but it isn't.
