Are you guys updating things on the fly? The minimum bank balance seems to have just changed from 2,000 to 1,000. (And it still says 2,000 in the FAQ.)

Also, how does one gain mobsters? The FAQ seems to suggest it is by inviting friends, but I see some level five characters with dozens of mobsters. I don't even know that many people with iPhones. Are these just NPCs or what?

Someone attacked me right as I was putting all my money into the bank, and now I have $-100,000.

Then I turned around and deposited my -$100,000 into the bank, so now my bank balance reads $-184,000.

update: I quit the app and opened it again and now my bank balance is positive. And somehow it has jumped to $171335824. Sweet.

update 2: The fact that you can gain XP by winning a fight on defense seemingly makes the game unbalanced. You can just put all your points into defense and none into attack, and then wait until other people attack you so you can win the fight.

I attacked someone and it said I got some $70k and some odd change. But then the connection died and when I logged in I had magically lost $10k of my original :(
