you guys are supposed to be on a team smh
But yeah considering I am actually town - and I only get a 20% cut from the auction house it seems illogical that notty would get money from both the auction house and also from some mysteries, assumed mafia, black market.
It makes no sense tbh
Maybe if it was just whenever someone made a purchase and that also included the black market, but you weren't made aware of it's existence directly - that could make sense, cus it would test your initiative without giving away secret mechanics.
But yea with my role in the game I just don't believe it.
