Money
How do I open an account and start laundering money?
- Open an account at the Looty Bay bank: you can’t launder without one.
- Get your own plot and house.
- Load cash into the Laundering Desk at your base: clean money goes to your account.
Laundering continues even while you’re offline. Banknote Counters upgrade the desk. Until you have your own house, Lenny can launder for you, but he takes a cut. You can withdraw money from your account at ATMs or from a bank employee.

Who do I sell loot to?
- A Fence buys stolen goods for cash. The amount depends on your Notoriety and the value of the loot.
- The Smuggler buys cargo.
- A district’s Sales Center pays a bonus, but only someone renting a plot in that district can sell there.
Prices for each item are in the catalog, and cargo values are in the Cargo and Production article.
How do I put money into my bank account?
Only by laundering at the desk in your house, there is no other way. You can withdraw money at an ATM or from a bank employee. Other players can’t steal money from your account, but once withdrawn it’s cash again and can be lost.
What happens if I pay off Lenny's debt?
The debt is $1,000,000. Paying it gives you a character skin and +10 years to your sentence. The skin stays on your character, including after prison and a wipe.
Will I lose my money if I quit the game?
Quitting starts a timer: the game closes right away, but your character stays vulnerable for some time. If they aren’t killed during it, the items stay with them.
There is one exception: a criminal in the city dies on quitting and loses equipment and inventory items. So get out of the city first.
Is there a strategy for the casino?
There is no winning strategy: at the roulette table in Lenny’s Motel, the more precise the guess, the bigger the win. Winning chips are exchanged for cash, and the bet is limited to 200,000.
