I've completed all achievements so far, except the Master Criminal one, where you're supposed to have a bounty of 1000 gold or higher in each hold at the same time:
- Eastmarch (Windhelm)
- Falkreath
- Haafingar (Solitude)
- Hjaalmarch (Morthal)
- The Pale (Dawnstar)
- The Reach (Markarth)
- The Rift (Riften)
- Whiterun
- Winterhold
My plan was to kill a random person in each city in front of the guards to instantly get the required bounty and run away afterwards.
Doing exactly that, paying attention that I'll definitely get the bounty popup, does not unlock that achievement though.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a (known) bug?
All that is done with the latest version of Skyrim (1.3.7.0) on the PC using Steam and being online.
New: It was a bug indeed.
Master Criminal achievement/trophy unlocks properly in French, German, Spanish and Italian

In the release version of the game there was a bug on any non-english client that just wouldn't allow anyone get the achivement. I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, I switched my client's to english and back, and at some point I was awarded. If your client is not in english, you should definetly try switching.
