Subject: Robbing the rich? Why bother?
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 1995 11:01:36 -0500
The problem with most runners is that they always think
"I want more money...lets steal it!" There are easier
ways to get a corp's money.

1.) Make false "evidence" of corporate involvement in
a scandal and then blackmail..Key here is not to
let the corps know your identity. Best way, pose
as a MR J. from another corp that wants you dead.

2.) Set the corps at each other's throats. When you
are short on cash and you know three groups that
are competing for the market.. steal one corps
"top secret" goods and plant them on another..
They might even pay you for it. Then leak
that they have it to the third and they'll
pay you to get it for them.. also the original
(if they haven't found out you stole it might
pay you to return their property. In effect
by redistributing the wealth.. and running
away as soon as it appears they have caught on
Runners can make large sums of cash.

3.) Leak a rumor months in advance that a corp
is gonna have a hit on him.. hire your selves
out as body gaurds and get paid..


One question:

If you steal only from the rich won't the rich become poor
and therefore put you out of a job? Wealth redistribution
is such a tricky thing...
