Having a Big Mouth is Expensive LadySylv
Helping out a friend, and/or having a big mouth can get you killed in the world of Bootleggers. It's sometimes who you know and who you are friends with that could end your account.

BillyButtPlug was anonymously hitlisted for $6,000,000 early this week, with a message saying,"raise your max." It was obvious that the hitlister was quite upset with the low amount and decided BillyButtPlug to be his victim. iBrandon, an obviously friend of Billy, bought pal off to avoid his eminent death. Again, he got added to the hitlist and we began to witness a hitlist seesaw effect where BillyButtPlug would be hitlisted, and his loyal friend would buy him off instantly. This went on for a few times, then Billy decided to make a topic in the Game Forum, hoping for some information.

iBrandon mentioned in the topic, he could buy Billy off all day long, as it was "only" $6,000,000 a time. Then, the anonymous hitlister, trying to prove a point, started hitlisting them both for $6,000,000 to $10,000,000 a time.iBrandon kept buying himself and Billy off. It almost seemed that his (and the hitlister's) money supply was endless!

The anonymous hitlister then decided to only hitlist iBrandon for having a big mouth. The price he had to pay was two hitlists, one for $13,000,000 and the other for $7,000,000. Those two hitlists were bought off by iBrandon as well. He thought the hitlister was running out of money, but before he knew it, there it was, iBrandon was again on the hitlist for $33,000,000. He figured he had spend enough money for one day, and contacted Bjorn, the latest Nation Don. Conjuring a deal after iBrandon had moved his slots to a secure account and cash to a holder, iBrandon's name was engraved in the Statistics page as a dead player.

BillyButtPlug was the original target but is still alive; meanwhile, his protective friend, iBrandon, isn't. It was the rather LARGE price to pay for protecting a friend and having a big mouth. In total, Billy and Brandon were hitlisted for $280,000,000 and the total amoutn of money it cost to buy them off was $247,000,000.

May it would of just been easier to raise the max like asked! Never underestimate the power of a hitlister with a goal, when that goal may just be your death and their money supply seems to be endless.
