Thread updated: The Caccia-Licata Crew, once tightly connected to the Chicago Outfit's Cicero Crew, had a strong foothold in Las Venturas. Frank Caccia, known as "Frankie C," laid the groundwork for the operation, with Richard Licata taking things to the next level. Licata was more than just muscle; his business sense turned the crew into a dominant force, especially in loansharking and low-level gambling. Under their leadership, the crew thrived, bringing in tough recruits from the streets of Las Venturas, enforcing a hierarchy where status and loyalty determined advancement. Caccia and Licata were the driving forces, but the true enforcers were guys like Anthony Galigano, who ran extortion and illegal gambling rings with ruthless efficiency. Edward Petorino handled the drug side, distributing narcotics through home invasions and street-level deals. But by 2019, the crew started to crumble. A long-running investigation known as Operation Capricorn started tightening its grip, and the crew was hit with RICO charges for drug trafficking, extortion, fraud, and a laundry list of violent crimes. Caccia, Licata, Galigano, and Petorino were all taken down, dealing a devastating blow to the crew’s power. Once they were arrested, the crew that had once were a dominant force in Las Venturas was left fractured, with key players behind bars and the operation shattered, and even one victim, Edward Petorino gunned down in a drug-deal gone wrong and low level drug dealer Thomas Gaucini turning informant. The posse' once-vast network is a shadow of its former self. Caccia and Licata are still active, but they're operating on a much smaller scale—focused on bookmaking, loansharking, and fraud in Las Venturas and even Los Santos. The glory days are long gone. However, remnants of the crew still linger, propped up by associates of the Chicago Outfit. Steven Delaney, an old Outfit associate that avoided the indictments, is now running a payday loan business in Las Venturas, using it as a front for high-interest loans and money laundering. On the other side of the state, Savino Moone, aka "G-Money," has moved to East Los Santos, where he runs a drug trafficking operation, using his connections with the Philadelphia Black Mob to distribute cocaine and heroin. The Caccia-Licata Crew may have fallen, but their influence hasn’t disappeared entirely. While they’re nowhere near the powerhouse they once were, remnants of their network are still alive, with some of the same players continuing to operate within the criminal underworld. The remnants of the crew have adapted, shifting to smaller-scale operations, but their presence remains in the streets of Las Venturas and Los Santos. New figures are emerging, and the landscape of organized crime in the region continues to evolve as old connections resurface and fresh opportunities arise.3 points

James "Jimmy" Winston, is a 29 year old man from South Pennsylvania. Born to Jedidiah and Louise Winston, Jimmy grew up within an Amish community, where he had very little contact to the outside world. Throughout his early years, Jimmy believed his family to be lonesome farmers who would trade with other Amish people, however he discovered his father would be making outside deals to those who were not from their community. At the age of 25, Jimmy was brought into the family business where he discovered his family secret - Marijuana Cultivation. Jimmy's family had been Amish Pot Farmers for generations, and it was time he was brought up to speed of the family business. All was going well for Jimmy and his family, until one sudden day, when everything changed forever. Jimmy was out in the fields when he can hear the rush of vehicles and helicopters. The DEA had been building a case surrounding his family and the cultivation of marijuana on their property. Jimmy's father, and one brother were both arrested and subsequently sentenced to 20 years for the crimes they had committed. Jimmy's involvement with the operation could not be proven, and because of this, no charges were ever laid on Jimmy. So Jimmy ran for the hills for a fresh start, and to escape the Amish Pot Farming lifestyle. During the course of his travels, he landed on the quiet spot of Flint County. Upon arriving in the area, he decided to go to a bar that he had seen next to a gas station called "The Outsider". While being the 'new kid in town', Jimmy made some friends at the bar. They gave him a job, a place to stay in an RV, and a new t-shirt to show his support for his new friends, the Barons Motorcycle Club.1 point
