IRS

[Ritchie Stones]

Before anyone jumps on their highhorse,

i would like to suggest to open more labs, up to 50% of all labs open, BUT!! 
have an IRS system in place, lets say when you deposit more than one million in a month or something like that, or deposit way to much in one go, the alarm bels go off by the IRS and you get chekked.

Also drug money and illigal money should be payd in actual cash money packs, with a weight to it” pretty light” so that cash with no expire date, can be hoarded in safes, this wil make raids also way cooler for cops and crims, 

this way crims wil have a more interactive way to putting money in the bank systematically 

crims will have to be smarter with stashhouses.

there wil be more oppertunity when illigal labs are way more broadly opened, yet, this IRS thing wil make the bridge to “printing money” a bit more difficult and thoughtfull, 

i think that this could be a lucrative alternative to the current system in place, 

 

let me know your thoughts

50% of labs that is 16-17 labs open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! previous suggestion was 10 labs active at the same time and even that was too much to some people. (not for me though)

I do agree that more labs should be open at a time, I do not think that 50% of labs should be open. Currently 5 labs can be active at a time which in some cases works out really well and other times it does not. I think if anything the number of active labs could be bumped up by 1 or 2 and maybe even somehow implement a system so that when labs open they are balanced, so you don't have all LSD labs or all Crack labs open at a time, you'd get 3 and 3 or even 4 and 2.

This is a cool idea but I don't think it would be a useful addition to the server. We already have to deal with cops all day every day.

I don't like this idea very much and here is why, I don't see the point in receiving packed cash when selling drugs to then be able to throw into a stash house, how exactly are people supposed to get the money? I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you're implying that people would have to go sell the packed cash from selling drugs to a money launder, if this is what you're trying to suggest, that would be very very broken for high tier factions. They could do 1 task such as cooking drugs and be able to upkeep 2 different types of dealers.

I understand what you're suggesting, but feel as if this sentencing is directed primarily towards some of the bigger gangs that can hold labs untouched for hours on end cooking endless amounts of drugs. In a way I feel as if you're trying to hint at making it easier for some of the more small time criminals to cook drugs? I'm not saying I think it should be hard for small time criminals but, doing criminal actives already comes with so many risks that I do not feel more need to be implemented, in this day and age it is already quite difficult to hold down a drug laboratory for long periods of time as the Police are a huge roadblock.

maybe an easier way to accomplish that goal of not just printing cash at labs would be to have your dealer pay you in marked money (larger stacks of it than currently available) which you then have to launder. 

The laundering process IRL is literally all about turning criminal money into clean taxable income so the IRS and police dosent raise any red flags as to where it came from. i know on our server it just means a quick stop off at a wash but it would still achieve what youre suggesting Ritchie. it would slow down the printing process and give another location for rival gangs to fight and RP over, get them on the map in more public areas.

You still run into the issue of established gangs with turfs being able to cook drugs and upkeep 2 separate types of turfs.
It essentially just defeats the entire purpose of Banks, Store robberies and ATM robberies because cooking drugs is the most used method of making money for criminals.

Marked money, not packed cash. sfaik dealers dont take marked money, you wash it and unpack it for just plain old cash. it cant be used to upkeep.

In other words, crims holding a lab cant just ferry drugs to and from their lab and dealers. they will have to also stop at a wash to also clean the marked money they get back from their dealer. washing as it currently works is often skipped by orgs as not worth the risk. adding another step along the way where a separate gang can look to intercept. keeping them visible in the city for longer and opening up possibilities for ambushes and tracking them.

Where you fall on this suggestion will probably depend on how happy you are with the current lab status quo, which is only natural.

Apologies! I miss read what you said.

So, to reply to many messages at once,

i think having more labs open wil make it more easy for smaller crim to make drugs, since larger gangs will pick the labs they prefer for holding/ cooking and clapping,

yes the money should be laundered, maybe mussiness proppertys could be more usefull then ?? Just came up with it,

i think, simply put, more open labs is more oppertunity, so more easy for any crim… but… lets not make it to easy and put more difficulty in just popping it in your bank, 

if your just a bit smart and have friends you can ask them to put in in their bank and transfer it to you…. It just simply provides more rp al scenarios

One thing i can agree with is letting crims roll cash into "rolls" or something like packed cash so that money is a physical item. Other parts of this im not so sure of.

apparently there is a far deeper issue running with holding certain items for longer times, that could be harmful to the server.
