Buying away False Accusations

Ok, so I'm stuck in a paradox. I have 2 false accusations, but as I solve cases I continue to increase my experience. With the occasional bribe my cash is growing at about half of rate at which the cost to erase my record is raising. So, at this rate I'll never be able to pay off my accusations if I continue in this manner.

Is there a better way to make money to pay the shady character, because just doing cases isn't working.

Dont forget to do favors and sell the equipment you get. Thats were the big cash is.

I started an agency so my wife and I could colaborate. We haven't any other agents from whom I could borrow.

Thanks for the advice. The really easy cases don't seem to be working. I suppose eventually the incredibly hard cases payoffs will have to eclipse the shady character's fees at some point. By the time they're easy for my character I'm sure I'll have enough money.

I tried working the easy cases, but the trade off in character development annoyed me. (I really wanna learn hypnosis.)

Just to check again, you are doing favours right?

Hypnosis is really not worth the risk of getting retired!

And remember, the trade off in character development is nothing compared to starting from scratch on a new character.

It's important to pay off Shady right away with two false accusations, and if you don't have the money, be VERY careful about the level of cases you are solving. It's possible to get an accidental false even when you are "sure" you are right!

Make sure you are doing favors, as V Buster said, and sell some of the gear you earn. Or consider leaving your agency for a while as an apprentice at an established agency where someone is willing to take you on and loan you some money, and perhaps also help you develop your skills. Post the right request, and someone will step up.
