If you happen to find a racket truck outside your safe house(s), start shooting it so the truck's back door opens. Whack the goons inside, take the money left over, and interrogate the driver.

Ok if its a small bank heres wot you do (it's best if you bribe the sargeant at the police station) when you first walk in go straight to the main room where the vault is. There should be three guards, two by the vault. Go up to the first guard on his own casually then walk past just so he knows you're there, then walk past everyone to the guard on the left hand side. He has a shotgun - quickly shoot him then the other guard next to him then turn around to shoot the other guard running at you then get out your dynamite and blow the vault -press R at the vault- then get the money and go to the front of the building and hijack a near by car then race straight to your safehouse that should be quite close.

Go to the closest church to your origanal safe house in Little Italy. Once you are there, go to the basement. Once you are there you'll see a molotov. Take it and then leave the church and then come back in. Go back to the place where you got the molotov. You'll see there's another molotov there. Repeat until you have as much as you can carry.

If you happen to find a racket truck outside your safe house(s), start shooting it so the truck's back door opens. Whack the goons inside, take the money left over, and interrogate the driver.

When you are having trouble extorting business owners, try destroying some of their property and/or hold a gun to their face. For example, when you are trying to take over Good Eats in Brooklyn. you can hold the gun to the man's face then reholster the gun and try extortion again. He will refuse. Simply draw your gun again, lock on, and hold it. Keep doing this until he caves in. Do not forget to reholster your gun to avoid accidentally shooting him. In another example, when you are trying to extort money from the hotel owner in Brooklyn, hold a gun to him twice, break the downstairs cupboard, then finally blow his safe before you beat him into submission. Always buy available rackets first. Take a trip around to either buy another racket or go around the block. Do not attack until you visit again, and instead of enemy soldiers you will find all your soldiers. By doing this you do not have to fight a bunch of enemies and get your vendetta up.

Become "The Don of New York City", by "Extorting All Buisnesses", "Buying Out Rackets", and completing almost all of the hitman missions. Get at least 95.0% game completion.

When you finish the first mission, you'll get $500. Save and quit then start the person up again and you'll get $500 and 500 respect. You can repeat as much as you want.
