We have a long running RP with that freelancer. To put it bluntly, he is very close to the hearts of Rheinland law enforcement (inRP).
Ill still be looking for those threads about bounties on smugglers and stuff, but this all looks like acceptable RP to me (not stellar, but acceptable none the less.)
If you think this freelancer is violating server rules by allying himself with the house of Rheinland, please contact an admin and get this issue solved with them. I'm here to make sure everything that happens makes good scene in RP and that the people who interact with the [RM] are happy with their encounters, not to split hairs regarding complex server rules.
