Reporters▪ Avoid reporters ▪ If you meet an older lady with red hair and wears a respirator mask so she “doesn’t have to

smell smoke” through the casino, she’s the most annoying reporter you will meet ▪ Media/press are supposed to have special badges. If you think someone may be media

there, without proper creds, report it to a GOON!

Feds and Undercover▪ Too buff, nice hair, well kept, and presentable - probably a Fed ▪ If someone asks you about some awesome illegal hacking or if you want to partake in some
