The Forgotten Underground Crew Razure
What did happened with "The Thompson Brothers"?

We were a respected crew, we had our own shooters, and we had a nice crew bank. We once lost all because Redgie (formal boss) got banned with all crew money. However we came back up and in the end we already made a 5.7k points as crew.

However in the starting of June 2007 Redgie left without leaving anything where he was going. A proximally a month went over without hearing anything from our boss. Than council decided in order to keep the crew going they needed to take over. So they did.

When the council took over a new forum got made, they tried to get everything going at old foot again. But the members weren’t fully cooperative. They lost their boss and their crew funds. Now was this action planned by Redgie or were there some bad intentions behind it?

None of the questions got answered, and the council got a alliance with a other new underground crew. This crew took over Revelation. We got asked to join when wanted, many did some didn’t. It took around a week before revelation shot back for the spot. Resulting in high ranked losses for TTB. Afterwards there came a discussion inside council if we shouldn’t ore should have joined. This made the crew to fall apart.

A proximally 4 months back Redgie all in a sudden showed up at bl again. I asked him what happened and what was going to happened with the crew funds of TTB. He told me TTB hadn’t ended yet and there for he didn’t want to return any funds to the old members back. Although the fact TTB is gone Redgie seems to have decided to keep all points from the crew and will never return it. He even decided to buy a piece of land with the crew money.

Now are we seeing a really complex scam here ore is it something else? I decided to ask some off the old council and members about their view in how this situation ended.

SirAntony (Old council) answered:
The story you have told is correct in my point of view. I was one of the council members who decided to take over when Redgie left so suddenly. We declared that Redgie would be back soon and that he was busy with school, although he didn't told us that. He told us that he got bored and played GTA san andreas online or something like that. After a while it seemed like he wasn't coming back so we took over. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but something had to be done.
Although I asked Redgie several times to return the funds to the crew, so that we could just split it over the members and leave, but he always ignored me, even now that we are months later, and he clearly is back in the game.

Dilligaf1988 (Old member) answered:
well not much said to the end of it as no one new anything and the members where not really happy it was ending and the fact our hard earnt cash we sent Redgie has been kept and we lost it all and to this day we know nothing about the reasons y he stopped coming on

Poisonous (Old council) answered:
None of us knew why Redgie left and he never offered an explanation except that bl bored him. Despite persistent requests from Antony and I for the funds to be returned to TTB this never happened. He did come back to the game for a while and told me he was quitting and would pass the funds on shortly, he then logged off and has not been on, to my knowledge since then.
Concerning the council, we tried our best to keep the crew going but members had just lost 5.7k points and their long running boss and faith in TTB was at an all time low and this never happened properly but I can assure you that Antony and I (The council at the time) tried our best and didn't lose faith until we really had to.

Now the question you can have is why not posted earlier? That question I can answer. I always had the faith he would return the crew funds. I even tracked down as many old members as possible to be able to hand him a list of the once he owes money. However today I looked over the old forum by coincidence and the idea to write a article came to my mind. I just wanted to tell the story to everyone.

Many members still have contact with each other but also many don’t. If there is any old TTB member around that I haven’t contact with please feel free to contact me. Thanks
