Hint :
Hint: Easy clean and dirty money:
After starting a new game, start your own syndicate. You can choose to rob a bank, and by doing this by yourself you can get around $50,000 dirty money. You can choose to keep this or launder it. By laundering enough, you can drive the rate down to about 6:1 or 7:1. That means that instead of 20 dirty for 1 clean, you get 6 to 7 dirty for 1 clean. This is an excellent way to get money immediately.

Hint: Invincible thugs:
After starting your own game, join your own syndicate. Select your branch. Go to "Employees", and select "Security Guards". On the right, you can select a Thug, Burglar, etc. Select your Thug, hire him, then look at his stats. You can choose to beat him until his health refills. Do this a couple of times, then send him on his own mission. He will have an icon above his head, like an anvil or something else, and he will not take damage.
