Ok so I had a false accusation on my record a couple days ago and when I looked at how much it would be to clear it, it said $400. Now I got a second false accusation and I went to go and "fix" my record, but now it says it's over $5000! Does it calculate the cost by taking a percentage of your money, or does it just get higher and higher are your experience grows? I want to be able to do some cases to earn money to pay it, but I'm afraid it will go up more and I will be unable to pay it. :( Anybody know how this works?

Sorry Greyling, am confused. 1/5th the experience of a case? So for an AI that would be 1/5 of 5120 which is (breaks brain...um...) 1024? Does that get multiplied by something else? Because I have paid much more than that in my career(s). Much, much, much more! Fortunately, I'm not at all bitter.

Oops sorry, I was heading out the door and forgot to put in that it accumulates. So yes, after an AI, what you owe Shady should go up by $1024. Unfortunately you never go back and start from zero once you pay him, it just keeps accumulating from how much you owed him at the time of paying him off. Then when you get a new false and can see once again how much he's asking, it'll be what you payed + the mentioned formula for every case you've done in the meantime, and so it continues upwards and upwards and upwards :)
