What is a Heat Meter in Money Front?
Heat Meter is a system where you can check law enforcement attention on your front businesses. As you do illegal business, the heat meter will rise, hence slower laundering speed. While you do legal business, the heat meter will be low, hence, max profit and smoother operations. So make sure you balance your work between legal work and criminal activities.
