Robbing an Empty Vault? MikaVerLeth
Several players kept doing their regular every day OC. However, they soon noticed something had changed. Sabin, who appears to update every feature he looks at, had allowed his eyes to drop at the Organized Crimes and decided to alter the coding.

This 'change of code' caused some stress amongst the players who committed an OC and found their vault to contain a mere $199,000 or, in some cases, even less. Others, however, were happily surprised to find out their vault contained over $500,000. The difference between these Organized Crimes was not the type of car, but the state in which the crime had been organized.

It turned out that Sabin had altered the code in such a way that the state in which the crime is being organized actually matters. Doing an OC in a busy state such as New York will result in an OC with a low amount of money in the vault, while an OC in an 'unpopular' state such as Nevada will result in an OC with a relatively high amount of money in the vault.

When a player posted his low amount of OC money on the Game Forum Sabin responded: “Hmm, interesting. The banks in your state must be getting fed up with being robbed all the time.”
This statement would prove that each state has some kind of vault amount that is lowered each time an OC is committed in that state. Causing the vault amount to become lower every time a crime is committed.

This new update to the Organized Crimes will certainly cause players to do them in different states. So far, however, it is doubtable if it will be used as most players keep doing their Organized Crimes in New York, a state with low profit. Yet, once people will want more profit they will have no other choice but to do their OC somewhere else.
