Vinny Pistone/3.0

Vinny Pistone is a character role-played by Shotz
==General Description==
Vinny Pistone is a core member of Chang Gang and the main supplier of their weapons, being the owner of a weapons crafting bench. He is also the founder of Chaos, a secretive terrorist group tasked with supplying the Los Santos criminal underworld with weaponry and other illegal items. As much of a businessman as he is a secret weapons and drug trafficker, he is the owner of Maldini's Pizzeria and a higher-up in Wu Chang Records, Vultur Lé Culturé, and Chang Gang Investments.
Vinny is a true, blue Italian and rolls around with his Brooklyn, New York, accent, often seen driving around in expensive cars, his current flavors of the month being the Bugatti Bolide. In 2021 (at the start of 3.0), he avoided crime due to the weapon-crafting bench in his house at the time. However, since the bench moved into a secret shipping container and subsequently the tunnels beneath Vultur Lé Culturé, then again back to a secret shipping container, he has participated in much more crime alongside Chang Gang.
==Events ==
Vending Machine Pistone
During March 2021, Vinny was gifted a crafting bench from the gods. This bench is located in his personal home and is well-hidden behind various shelves and purposely placed items to conceal its destination in the house. After he let members of Chang Gang know about his bench, they saw him as their main connect for weaponry and started to refer to him as a "vending machine". Due to Vinny receiving this bench, he gave up the life of crime and swore to stay crime free so that he could provide for his family aka CG.

===Murders===
Nero Calabrese
January 13th 2022 - The Murder Of Nero Calabrese
After snitching on the Los Santos meth game to Randy Wrangler, Nero became known as a 'snitch' to the criminal underworld, resulting in Nero being hunted by Chang Gang, Street Team, Hydra Gang, and The Guild. On January 13th, Nero was tracked down and confronted by Jaylen Carter of Street Team, who then transferred her to Chang Gang. Chang Gang took Nero to a desolate beach near Paleto and executed her, with Vinny repeatedly shooting her in the head with a sawed-off shotgun. Her body was then dumped in the middle of the ocean.
No one was charged for her murder.
