Mafia Wars Illegal Transaction Records: What They Are and Why You Need Them

As you advance in Mafia Wars, you will eventually start needing specific items like concealable cameras, blackmail photos, and illegal transaction records.  These are rare loot items that you can only get in specific ways, but you need them to advance in the game. 


Illegal transaction records are necessary to complete top end jobs in Mafia Wars.  The later stages of the game like Consigliere and Underboss will require you to have this item.  Doing the job "Steal Bank Record" in the Capo level is probably the best way to get Mafia Wars illegal transaction records.  You will have to do this job several times until you get enough records to complete other higher tier jobs. 


Another way to get this item is to have it gifted to you by family members or other people in your mafia.  There will probably be players who have records they don't need.  Make a request and often you will be able to get this item or some of the other rare items like concealable cameras. 


Infrequently, you can also get illegal transaction records during fights against other players.
