“Chess is a war over the board. The object is to crush the opponent’s mind.” – Bobby Fischer Anything posted on this thread, should be kept on the thread. Posts may vary from detailed to blank depending on the situation. This is to prevent Metagaming. Any concerns can be directed to my DMs.

The US-Mexico border is known for a variety of things, one being drug trafficking and distribution. Most of the distribution done on the US-Mexico border is executed by countless border gangs, and border drug trafficking organizations. Two of the most infamous border zones is the Texas-Chihuahua border, specifically where El Paso-Ciudad Juarez meet and another is the Arizona-Sonora border, where Tucson-Nogales meet. But the San Andreas-Baja San Andreas border is one of the recently growing smuggling domination strongholds, where San Diego-Tijuana meet on the border. The Badiraguato Municipality also known as the Mexican Sicily is a region in Sinaloa, Mexico where a lot of influential people in the narco world have lived, and continue to live. Royalty narco families have grown around this mountainous region, and is still known to be a region dominated by narco culture to this very day. One specific narco family or clan from the Badiraguato Municipality region is the Mondragón family, once under the Sinaloa Cartel also known as La Federación, this family of narcos are now independent operators with alliances connecting themselves to over a dozen organizations in the United States of America, and in Mexico. The United States Ambassador to Mexico, Christopher Landau, urged that the authorities work together on both sides of the border against organized crime. "The fight against organized crime and drug trafficking is a shared fight. Criminals and drugs kill Mexico and the United States," said the diplomat on his Twitter account. "We urgently need to work shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the border. It is not easy at all, but we are more the good guys." For her part, the Consul of Los Angeles, Marcela Celorio, reported that she had already met twice with the former Secretary of National Defense, Salvador Cienfuegos, who has been detained since Thursday in the United States: "On the instructions of Foreign Minister Ebrard, the Consulate of Mexico in Los Angeles has been in communication with the federal authorities in the case of General Salvador Cienfuegos, which facilitated consular access, Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations," he said. "I interviewed General Cienfuegos twice, the first by phone to make sure of his state of health and his confinement conditions; the second personally, he was given the proper consular assistance and I informed him about his rights in the United States." He affirmed that the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations establishes that consular protection is carried out in accordance with the principles and norms of international law and in accordance with the laws and regulations of each country. "The work of the consulates is to protect the rights of detained Mexicans, ensuring due process of law and dignified treatment throughout the process," said Celorio. OOC: The purpose of this thread is to showcase the narco related roleplay to the The Paisa Car and its connection to the Badiraguato Municipality region also known as the Mexican Sicily. Posts maybe vary from detailed to literally having no text displayed on them, depending on the situation. If an attempt of Metagame is tried on this thread, it'll be either taken to normal staff or Illegal Faction Management. This thread isn't to be confused with a full-fledged faction, but instead a subsidiary of an already existing one.

I. SOUTH CENTRAL LOS SANTOS: South Central, Los Santos. Home to street gangs, prostitutes and narcotics. South Central is made up of several areas within the district; Strawberry a/k/a The Straws, Chamberlain Hills a/k/a Killer Hills, the City of Davis a/k/a Dirt City and Rancho a/k/a the Eastside. Within these areas, there's at least 400 street gangs rumored to be currently active to this day with more that probably haven't been confirmed yet. Known to be the first district to be hit with the crack cocaine epidemic in the 1980s, South Central Los Santos has always been a district surrounded by narcotics, and violence. Although the media doesn't talk about 75% of crimes committed in South Central in the modern day, it's only getting worse than it was in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. With color banging out of the window, you can get killed for wearing a sports team on your body; hat banging, this has become the norm in Los Santos, and in South Central? Taken extremely serious. The residents have said, if you step foot in South Central? To literally avoid wearing hats unless it's a LS hat, Dodgers cap with it saying; DODGERS across it, Raiders, White Sox, or Lakers. Most residents avoid wearing Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Bulls, Kansas City Royals, New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and Houston Astros hats. II. FAMILY THRU BLOOD: Blood Money Incorporated, also known as Blood Money Family, Blood Money Entertainment (Legal use), My Family's Keeper or simply accused of being; The Bullock~Montoya Organization out of South Central Los Santos. Not much is known about Blood Money Incorporated, in fact there is literally nothing known other than the fact even the name Blood Money Incorporated was given to them by the authorities in the state of Arizona. There's no confirmation that the organization is actually in existence, and the only near enough proof of it is Blood Money Entertainment which in itself is a legal music trademark for several musicians. Gerald Bullock of the E/S Davis Avenue Crips, and Keith Bradford of the Mob Piru gang are the only two near enough proofs that such organization exists, and even then they were only affiliated to the legalized label of the said group, but also had gang affiliations. Gerald Bullock, one of a few and one of not so many, is a now life sentenced criminal affiliated to the Border Brothers 22 prison gang in Arizona's FCI Phoenix facility and also one of many investors for B.M.E. Authorities suspect such organization exists as several people have been suspected to be linked to it, and the traditions are still laying around in the shadows whilst B.M.E itself isn't even around anymore as an entertainment studio, there's still references to such organization for its illegal counterpart. Authorities believe that the organization is striving today in the modern era because some members of the organization go to extreme lengths to hide their affiliation to the point there's no way to confirm it still exists, one being Malcolm F. Ruiz who was taken in on drug possession charges and often disguise themselves as Hip-Hop enthusiasts, attending M.C. concerts and trying to extort local up-and-coming rappers. Malcolm's involvement in this doesn't confirm he's a member of the Blood Money Family, but authorities suspect that he is involved with the group. The authorities haven't officially confirmed the group's existence, but on several rap tracks from South Central rappers; "Blood Money", "B-Money", "Family Through Blood", "Blood Brothers" "Blood Sisters" those terms were used, and clothing such as Blood Money, Blood Money Family and Family Through Blood were seen on several rappers, some of which who referred to this. The group might not officially be called what the authorities say, but from several sources; evidence has been gathered and a name were pinpointed onto the group. It's also unclear to say this crew only operates in South Central, as artists and your regular dirty criminal low-down pieces of shit Joes have all been sighted with what authorities say are B.M.I affiliations in states such as: San Andreas (Both NorSan, and SoSan), Arizona, Texas, Oregon and Nevada. What's safe to assume is, if this said organization is in fact in existence, then they're more than likely only based on the West Coast and parts of the Dirty South in the United States of America. Since the only accused rumors are artists all saying the same stuff, and wearing clothing that criminals also wear related to a defunct entertainment group, or that some people related to it have been linked to the Border Brothers 22 in prisons and outside of prisons in the country, it'd be a bad thing to say this group exists as a criminal organization, or in fact exists at all. But ruling it out won't happen, as it's always a possibility that there might be a shadow group operating under the radar for one of the country's fastest growing Security Threat Groups (STGs); Border Brothers 22. III. LIVING ON THE RUN: Whilst having a fair share of their activities in South Central, the group's suspected activity has been rumored to have taken place in several parts of San Andreas, Nevada and Arizona in the last three years. Quoted from another section: "It's also unclear to say this crew only operates in South Central, as artists and your regular dirty criminal low-down pieces of shit Joes have all been sighted with what authorities say are B.M.I affiliations in states such as: San Andreas (Both NorSan, and SoSan), Arizona, Texas, Oregon and Nevada. What's safe to assume is, if this said organization is in fact in existence, then they're more than likely only based on the West Coast and parts of the Dirty South in the United States of America. " It's believed that the suspected ghost crew is rumored to be behind a lot of footwear and fake jewelry sales, which is what authorities suspect them to use as a legal way of earning money. Currently as we speak, in the modern day and age; groups such as Blood Money Inc & Co are said to be a dying breed, whilst some others would argue it's in fact quite the opposite. Due to the group have very little information about them out there, it's unknown whether there's a structure, or if there is one, and if there is; how organized it is. Most would argue that media outlets and authorities are beating a dead horse, whilst some others would say they're on track to hunting down a ghost crew that needs to be taken off of the streets. IV. OUT OF CHARACTER: The aim of this thread is to showcase the realistic aspect of pipeline roleplay that involves other ethnicities and paisas themselves connected to the Paisa network in Southern California, specifically under the Border Brothers 22 Security Threat Group (STG). Any Metagame will be taken seriously, and staff will be asked to intervene. I personally ask that anyone who wants to give criticism, please direct it to my personal messages. For any questions/inquiries also direct it to my personal messages. For anyone wishing to roleplay with the concept, sadly everything will be taken completely in-character; meaning zero out of character influence will be taken into this concept a/k/a no PMs asking to join. The reason for doing this, is to spark more roleplay in-character, and hopefully bring a more enjoyable experience to the concept for those involved.
