The New York State Don Lets Loose! RonBurgundy
On 1st October, everything seemed peaceful in the world of Bootleggers, however this was all about to change. SteveRubell, the New York State Don at the time, had been carefully planning a shooting. He made use of his 5 minute searches and began shooting various players, some being members from crews including Chaos Soldiers and Event Horizon.

The State Don himself made a topic shortly after he had finished his spree with him claiming that the shootings had been done by Club Boogie. This was later denied. These killings prompted a member from Event Horizon to use a proportion of his money for a huge hitlist.

Depletion (A.K.A Tynos), known for his gambling luck, decided to use some of his money to hitlist the Don for $1,000,000,000. This caused uproar in the Game Forum with a whole host of topics being posted about the large amount of money put on a single person's head. However, to the astonishment of everyone, a further $1,000,000,000 was added bringing the total hitlist to 2 billion BL dollars, the largest hitlist of a regular player for a long time.

The Buzz caught up with SteveRubell before his inevitable death to ask whether he could answer some questions. He gave us a response to one question; why he shot the various players. He replied, "Simple: They have been all jerks, or money holders". With that, he met his unfortunate end.

Whether he was able to gain most of that $2 billion by letting a bodyguard shoot him for a mere 100 bullets is not known to all, but he has definitely left his mark on the game with a reported $35 billion being released out of the Game.

With another State Don dead, a space is waiting for the next one to take his place among the highest-ranked players of Bootleggers, whether they will commit a similar spree in the future, is still to be found out.
