Diamond Dogs/3.0

==Background==
The Diamond Dogs are a group of individuals that hang out together to do crime; joyriding, robbing banks, and selling drugs. The group originally spent much of their time on Mount Gordo poaching and weed farming. They also used to sell meth in Sandy Shores, where several members own property.
==Terrorism and The Nines==
In September 2021, Salvatore "Big Pussy" Tamburlini and Pete Herrera were given the 9s after attempting to kidnap Officer Lily Pond from the ICU at Pillbox Medical Center.
In December 2021, Big Pussy was charged with terrorism after setting up an ambush on cops and allegedly yelling "Hell Week" at his Sandy Shores home. He plead guilty in the cells and served one year at Bolingbroke Penitentiary. 
==Diamond Dogs and The Lost ==
After the crime blackout in April 2022, Reed Dankleaf invited members of the Diamond Dogs to join the Lost MC as prospects.
===The Merger: Lost Forever, Forever Lost===
By August 2022, the majority of the Diamond Dogs were interested in joining the Lost. They were sponsored by various members as prospects, except for Lizzie Byrne, who was a BBMC hangaround at the time. It seemed like the death knell for the Diamond Dogs.
But on Aug. 25, 2022, after Lizzie jokingly held up HOA Second in Command Andi Jones, who is Prime Minister Barry Benson's sister, Lizzie's journey with the BBMC ended. This was the first crack in the group's attempts to join an MC.
=== Post-Lost: Diamonds Are Forever ===
In September 2022, Reed Dankleaf, parted ways with the Lost, announcing his retirement. His departure was contentious, so in revenge he stole the Lost's shotgun bench key and gave it to the Diamond Dogs. Reed then kidnapped superterrorist Michael Simone, holding him prisoner and helping him fake his death, with Lizzie's assistance. Reed and Lizzie were hunted across the city by multiple groups looking to avenge Mick's death.
The Lost attempted to rectify the problems caused by Reed and the Diamond Dogs by hunting down Reed and handing him over to Seaside, Simone's gang. The Diamond Dogs rescued Reed, shooting down the Lost who were defending the Stab City compound and declaring it the property of the Diamond Dogs. "Diamonds are forever," Mel said as a parting shot. The Simone kidnapping caused a major club split within the Lost, with over twelve members and Old Ladies leaving.
