I'm not radmand, but I am using the time cheat myself. It is explained in the 'Fast money' section on the cheating page, but tbh I did not get the info there myself 100% when I learned the cheat so I'm gonna tell you what I am doing during the current event:

I collect profits. Close the game properly. Switch phone to airplane mode (all connections disabled). Go to phone settings > time&date. (If necessary, disable 'Automatic', so it lets me change time&date manually.) Change the time to 42 minutes ahead. Open PI. Collect profits (Bungalows have just turned yellow after 42mins, and often other buildings have collected profit as well). Close PI. Change time to 42mins ahead. Open PI and collect profits. And so on. I do this roughly ten times, until I've reached the time I will get up. CAREFUL, now comes the important part. After I've reached let's say 7.20 on my phone time (I get up at 7.30) and collected profits, I set the phone time back to the real current time. IMPORTANT: I take note of the phone  time at which I closed PI the last time (let's say 7.21). I do not open PI again until at least 7.22 the next morning, or the game will notice the cheat and give a warning.

So basically, the most important thing to keep in mind when using this trick is to NEVER open PI when the phone time is earlier than the last time you had the game open. ALWAYS take a note of the latest phone time you had PI open (here, 7.21) and just ignore PI until real time has caught up. It doesn't matter if it's 23:00 or 7:19, if you open the game before this time the phone will notice and you'll be in trouble. Really be careful because I believe after three or four warnings you will not be able to use the social features of the game anymore.

I learned this the hard way, got two warnings for cheating when learning the trick myself because I was curious and opened the game after I set the phone time back to the current 'real' time. Stupid me. It helped me to learn NEVER to do this again to imagine (don't laugh) that I have just travelled into my phone's future, and there's no need to open PI and see what's going on because I already know what's gonna happen in the next 8 hours, right? Alright you can laugh, but I swear it helped me understand why I mustn't open PI, and now it's just natural to use the cheat.

Hope this helps. Good luck everyone.
