Post subject:  Questions on getting caught, and wireless routers

I managed to do quite well in my most recent game of Onlink, only matched by the spectacular collapse that followed!

I'm very careful to delete my logs from InterNIC, and whenever I steal money from a bank I'm also quite fast at deleting the statements and covering my tracks, even on the first gateway you get.

Anyhow, last night I got a wireless router (among other things) and proceeded to go about my business as usual, stealing coinage from banks and doing the missions. However! I got caught from doing something, and I don't know how. That's not the main problem though... the wireless router got taken, which is alright, but I also then noticed the glaring hole in my finances after that. The account that I put the stolen money in was standing at -1,064,879 credits, which came as quite a shock!

I've gotten into such a habit with cracking banks that I cover my tracks automatically without really thinking about it, but does getting caught on even just one unauthorised funds transfer mean all of the illegal transfers get reversed? I'm not sure how much money I had amassed doing bank hacks, but one of the transfers was for the princely sum of 1,000,000 credits, which is what leads me to believe that all the transfers get reversed.

Harsh, if that's the case :|

After this I got caught doing something else, but I don't know what. I find it hard to believe that I would be caught since after almost every succesful series of missions (usually this involves deleting at most 6-8 logs from InterNIC at any one time) so what might have happened? I nuked my gateway after this, and then I couldn't afford anything, since I was over 1,000,000 in debt by this point :|

You could always get an account at the bank you hacking, transfer there, and then transfer to your main account and close the newly opened one. You will more than likely get caught but you get to keep the money and you only loose 60k. Thats the best way Ive found to keep the cash even if I get caught.
