It's All Strictly Business fredtheshark
This week Strictly Business's fun on the Statistics was brought to an end when The Triad insided them. After hard kicking every member of Strictly Business (including those with pending applications to the crew), JiggazNiggaz made a topic in the Game Forum to almost gloat at The Triad's accomplishment. By the time we came to interviewing those involved, all leads to The Triad were either dead or banned so we are not able to report exactly what happened from the point of view of The Triad.

What we do know, however, is that they sold the crewspot to another crew: The Freelancers. They purchased the crewspot for 1,500 points to prove a point. Azelaz told us that "we were asked by a friend if we could go on the stats whenever we wanted and we said 'we'll be on the stats tomorrow' and we did." However, it would appear that the presence of a clearly anti-Resistance and anti-The Legends crew on the Statistics was not met with approval by the Nation Don. dani13 shot at The Freelancers, probably with the intention of picking the crewspot up.

Unfortunately for Bootleggers, things didn't go completely as planned. Due to the glitch, which allows more than one crew to be made if two crews are made at the exact same time, dropping The Freelancers gave birth to TWO crews, instead of one. Yes, because of this, The Garbagemen hit the Statistics by complete luck. Crizak, founder of The Garbagemen, told us "I just picked The Garbagemen for fun and it's no real crew.". He simply saw that there was a free crewspot and so took the opportunity. He was unaware, however, that two others had seen this and created both the 10th and 11th crews on the Statistics. Crizak was barely able to realize what was going on before he was shot and killed by the Nation Don. Upon making a new account, he contacted the Nation Don, who then agreed to give him a percentage of however much he sells the crewspot for. It seems that Crizak has a different opinion on Resistance to The Freelancers, as Crizak told me "Many people think that Resistance was behind the whole thing, but that's not true. They saw an opportunity to get an easy spot by killing me and they took it."

With rumors about that Strictly Business have disbanded, no word from The Triad, The Freelancers swearing that they will not rest until they're "broke or done with BL" and being completely against both The Legends and Resistance, it seems that a storm is brewing. This time, perhaps one could speculate that The Freelancers failed. Or maybe one would say that they were successful in proving they have the ability to get onto the Statistics. We can only wait and see whether they are able to defeat their sworn enemies.
