    A general location used to store and invest money. Whether players rob it, or store money in it and gain some interest, banks are a long-standing institution in video games.

    Suck it big corp, this is how you deal with the man.

    The vid above is what happens when the big banks go too far. If seeing two minutes is too much for you, its basically a homeowner that didn't owe the bank anything, still got foreclosure proceedings on them, and  not only did the homeowners take them to court and won, they went through a similar legal procedure on the bank itself where they got a moving truck, cops and a lawyer to go to the bank to fore them to pay the court fees.  
     
    But there are two things you can learn from this. 
     
    One: This is how you fucking deal with big corporation. Somebody sue you, or take you to court, you sue them right back and take them to court. I'm talking to you hackers out there, you really think you have the right to do hack anything? Then by all means, don't run away like you're a criminal when companies like Sony breathe down your neck. Innocent until proven guilty, ppl. Oh what? Can't afford a lawyer? In America, generally, if you win the case, you can counter sue them back to pay for your lawyer and court fees.  (I say generally, since I'm not a lawyer, but only speak from experience as well as the story above). Seriously, hackers, just go to court next time and turn the "grey" area of console modding to black and white for the future of all gamers. That is how you can help the community, not hacking them back and making yourself look like a giant dick.  
     
    Two: Banks (and all corps big and small really), get your fucking act together. What? You got too much paper work to handle? Boo hoo. If there was some big health epidemic where more Doctors and nurses are needed, do the hospitals hire under qualified people to help out? No, cause people's lives are stake. Oh, but you might say that's an over exaggeration, what the bank does cannot be compared to the life and death situation in healthcare. WRONG!!!! Most people have a big chunk of their lives invested in their house, to lose that is to lose your life you know. Imagine the humiliation of Repo men trying to take your house away (and if it doesn't bother you, then imagine that happening to your parents). Of course that should be the worse possible case, just like death is to a doctor. So then why have under qualified people process the paper work for these banks then? Guess what banks, it cost money to hire people. If you can't hire enough qualified people to do the paperwork, then you over expanded and shouldn't have made the paperwork to begin with.  
     
     
    That's enough of a rant for me. 
     
    TL:DR - Hackers, you are fucking cowards and a giant dick now. If you feel hacking electronics is correct, defend it in court and set a precedent. Companies, no matter who you are, stop hiding behind excuses. If you have qualified people working regular hours doing business, there should be no cracks to fall through. Why the fuck did we ever bail out the banks? What happened to the free market?

    Let's just hope this gentleman uses some of that money to find a better tailor. That suit looks a size too big for him.
