    I don’t get it, how does depositing a check become a police matter?
    PS: It says cash first and deposit further down, I’m assuming deposit must be the correct part.

    Edit: PPS. I know there is racism and this happens in USA, but the amount of amateur hour from the Banks procedure, to the people working there and the police responding to a non issue is mind numbing for a person coming from Denmark, where banks are run professionally, and the police almost is too.

        Yes, and being a banker and policeman while racist, which is actually illegal. Being black remains legal despite Republicans best efforts.
        USA is an extremely scary place, especially for people of any color other than white.

          Well ok. They’re only used interchangeably one way, nobody deposits a check and leaves with the money, but they’ll go to “cash a check” and deposit it.

            Well I cannot say what’s common in USA, but the literal meaning of cash seems to me to be getting literal cash in your hand. While deposit is to deposit it into an account, for withdrawal later, like when the check is cleared.
            I’m guessing if people use those terms interchangeably, they are in error half the time.
            IDK practices in USA, but here some checks can be cashed immediately when they are from trusted parties, like a bankers check, but AFAIK you still need to have an account with the bank to cash it.
            That said both cash and checks are extremely rare here now, almost everything and everybody have gone electronic.
            Paying cash above about 8K USD or 50k DKK is actually illegal now, to prevent money laundering.

    Infinite money sounds great, but if you activate this glitch the Law faction becomes hostile toward you and their aggro range is increased.

    There is a similar cheat that you can activate with a cheat code, but your parents need to input the code on the title screen before starting your game. You’ll start in “New Game +” with huge bonuses to cash and influence. The Law faction becomes friendly toward you, and the MegaRich are neutral instead of hostile, and they’ll even forgive minor grievances sometimes.

    I never learned the code so I can’t help much more than that. Sorry 😔

      I started that way, it’s nice. You can still play on hard mode with the poverty debuff, but if you pick the right starting region it makes for a good game. Playing on dark mode with poverty debuff is just constant grinding with the level progression all fucked up, it’s kind of immersion breaking. You can get participation trophies that way though.

      If you start with the cheat code you get a permanent culture debuff though.

        True but the culture debuff makes you more likely to acquire the “unempathetic” trait which if your goal is a financial victory is a must.

    I would keep doing this over and over. If the bank acted properly, you can just have them print a new check, then try elsewhere.

      Don’t need to. I’d just make a bunch of IOUs backed by this infinite money and pay people in that. Eventually you could add some security measures to validate the IOUs are legitimate, and even allow people to exchange them between each other.

    I hope he drives by that bank every single day just to smile pleasantly and wave.

    Hey I had my bank do that to me once too, and I’m brownish of the navajo-german-irish-spain type, how can that litigious man prove that racism was the reason his bank wouldn’t accept the check?
