For what it's worth, I used to play GTA online a lot and was getting bored with it. For a last hurrah, I had my account hacked by a friend to give me billions. I bought all the stuff I wanted even though I was told to be careful with buying too much (as if I was money laundering).

I opened it up recently and my money was back to normal. I imagine I did something that got me detected. In all honesty, it was a blessing, because I realized I was only playing the game for the addictive grind and I didn't enjoy the game itself. The online mode is like a second job, and it's exacerbated by the highest rewards being specifically designed to grief new players. Rocket bikes with car seeking missiles really killed the game for me




> as if I was money laundering

Yeah, it's suspected a very common trigger for R*, for whatever reason, is depositing cash into your in-game bank account. You're far less likely to be banned if you only pay in cash.
