TheBoys™️

TheBoys™️ are a major criminal syndicate in Los Santos. They operate large scale illegal and legal activity such as bank robberies, drug/weapon trafficking and murders, to owning and operating major and local businesses.

## Origins

TheBoys™️ was founded on June 16, 2021, by Jilly Rizzo and Gio Wop. It began when Rizzo met Gio while interacting at Queensbury Boxing Club in the Southside of LS. The two would hit it off and begin to slowly build a foundation for a criminal enterprise.

By this time, Rizzo was already known for his wealth of information and knowledge of the cities underworld, but had no serious crew. On the other side, Gio had all of the tools as a jack-of-all-trade and was looking to get deeper into illegal activity. The two would begin to share information with each other and quickly learn to trust one another. Gio was the perfect brash loudmouth to Rizzo's charm and the duo knew they were building something special. They would soon expand the group by adding in Gio's long time friend, Enzo Magiano. Enzo was always around and involved with Jilly and Gio, but was regularly busy running Benny's Original Motor Works.

## Next Steps

The next move for the organization was to start trafficking cocaine on a large scale. They began flying in bricks, upon bricks across the border in small rented planes and then would sell them wholesale to a handful of people in the city. Here, Jilly and Gio began to interact heavily with Mark Markinson by distributing cocaine bricks to him. TheBoys™️ knew of Markinson due to him being a member of the Ballas, but had not had much one-on-one time with him. They realized that he was buying more product than anyone and moving it faster by breaking it down and up charging others in the city. Wop and Rizzo began to trust Mark as they developed their relationship and eventually found he had far more to offer than just buying cocaine. Markinson left the Ballas and joined up TheBoys™️ fully as he knew the opportunities were far greater.

Around the same time, Josh D would also be seen interacting with TheBoys™️ buy purchasing cocaine. He struck Gio and Jilly as a true hustler and someone that had the focus of a potential big time player. Still fresh in the city with plenty of time to develop, they would keep JD close as an associate and help him out along the way with any information/pointers needed.

Soon after TheBoys™️ became a four-man crew, they would add to the mix John Black. Black was known around the underworld as a degen grinder and hunter. He had his own enterprise at the time that focused heavily on manufacturing methamphetamine. Adding him to the crew gave The Boys another source of knowledge and hustle.

## Major Crime

They began to work together to try and become the first in the city to rob Fleeca banks after their security upgrades. Gio, Enzo, Mark and Black would routinely rob commercial warehouses and business to try and acquire items needed for a big score. At the same time, The Boys were also trying to be the first to crack the new cocaine process in the city. The process was told to be very rigorous, time consuming, dangerous and expensive. They were the first to find all locations needed to complete the process and began performing the heists to full unlock the cocaine house. Sadly for them, the cocaine process at the time was not worth all of the recourses it would take to complete. Never one to let a chance to make profit slip by, Jilly hatched up a plan to begin selling the information to other criminals in the city and The Boys racked up over $2m in information sold.

After the disappointment of cocaine, they shifted their focus back to a bank score. The Boys had every item required for robbing a bank besides one and they know exactly who had it. Alex Smith, a notorious scumbag in the city, had the only device known in the city to hack into the Fleeca vaults. Black proposed that he would set up Alex by having a false friendship with him to gain his trust. He would string him along for a few weeks and then set him up to buy the hacking device. During the sale, Black, Mark, Gio, Enzo and Josh D ambushed Alex and made him empty out the trunk to his stash car. They looted the device, gun parts, black market items and more.

Now that the crew had everything required to hit a Fleeca bank, they began to prep the robbery. Markinson was tasked with hacking the security system, Jilly was on drilling the lockboxes, Black and Enzo on hostage control/demands with the PD and Gio as the getaway driver. The Boys pulled up to the Legion Square Fleeca bank with two hostages and began the first bank heist of the new era. Mark flew threw the hack and cracked open the vault door for he and Rizzo to head back and loot. Once the two were finished, they headed out front, got in their car and Gio had the PD lost with just a few crafty turns. They all celebrated the bank score and have been smashing them ever since.
