Popular Post mikebumbum Posted December 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Death Row Records, an American record label founded in 1992 by Suge Knight, Dr. Dre, The D.O.C and Dick Griffey. The label was a huge success, releasing multi-platinum hip-hop albums by West Coast based artists, like Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. At its height, Death Row Records was making over $100 million a year after tax. With the fall of Suge and the departure of Dre and Snoop from the label, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2006. After being bought out at an auction the company and it’s masters were sold to WIDEawake Entertainment for $18 million at the start of 2009. Meanwhile the Death Row Incorporated founders were just beginning their entrepreneurial careers. Jay Russo was hustling the streets of London, placing large deals together for international clients, both legal and illegal. From helping Arabs find property in Kensington and Chelsea, to helping the Sinaloa Cartel ship in mass amounts of cocaine into Europe. His connection inevitably lead him to the criminal underbelly of Los Santos after a few months of finding his feet, he was put in touch with Mike Laurie, a somewhat notorious business man who originated from Grove Street, his hood ways brought him up with his brothers in a notorious Los Santos gang named West Coast Assassins. After the family broke up, Laurie moved onto a business empire who went by the name of “The Rooks”, this is where Laurie and Russo combined together to help the organization out at it’s failing times. With time, they both parted ways with “The Rooks”, when they were contacted by a good friend of Laurie's, Oti Maxwell, who invited them into what seemed like a permanent home. Gangster Disciples was extremely beneficial for the pair as businessmen and as outright criminals. The duo became notorious around the city, running up on local Irish mobs and infiltrating Triad shipments from their suppliers. Unfortunately, what they knew as home had to come to an end, with Maxwell being charged with triple homicide and awaiting trial for a life sentence, the family slowly took to other endeavors during his departure. With the notorious criminal enterprise known as Gangster Disciples closing their Los Santos chapter, smaller gangs and organizations began to thrive. Mike and Anthony Laurie, were vacationing in Turks and Caicos, Russo and his friend Rafi Leib were doing a 12 year sentence for kidnapping of government employees. Their sentence was cut short when the government employee’s story changed in favor of Russo and Leib, which had nothing to do with a wire Michael Laurie sent from his offshore account located in Cayo Perico. Fresh out of prison the four united back in Los Santos, with only around $10 million left between them, they began brainstorming ideas, Anthony Laurie, found a business auction for the company Death Row Records. All being fans of 90’s hip hop, they thought it would be a great front for their criminal enterprise. Big-time criminal conspirators will utilize shell corporations to do the heavy lifting and help create a corporate web of disguise that can perplex and confuse the best of investigators. Shells can come in different shapes and sizes, and the jurisdiction in which they reside can help further the concealment. Some fraudsters create shell companies for single uses and then discard them. Or they may use them repeatedly and have them change hands multiple times. They also may form "shelf companies" and not use them for a period of time. A shelf company has a better chance of appearing legitimate and fooling a novice investigator or basic due diligence mechanisms because it appears to have existed longer than it really has. An older shelf could predate any specific areas of concern, which would allow it to engage in business activities when it otherwise shouldn't. Death Row Incorporated, could be considered a shelf company, depending on who the reader is. Founded in 2020 by Jay Russo and Michael Laurie, the company was built to hold their prized record label, Death Row Records, their escrow services Death Row Escrow and hidden deep inside this perplex web would be the criminal organization Death Row. With the record label being the main focus of the public eye, the same could not be said for the escrow service or the strong arm of the group, Death Row. Death Row Incorporated would be the centerpiece of the plan and the home to the slew of legal and illegal businesses it would attempt to grow to be the biggest business inside of Los Santos one that at one point should be able to almost run itself. Death Row Records, holding their prize possession, the masters from the 90’s Hip Hop classics from several Artists albums. They had to push forward and find new artists and take over the modern day streaming platforms, whilst the old masters still generate a large amount of revenue, it is important that in the eyes of the law they can uphold an actively operating record label. The record label will be mainly looking for people in Los Santos to sign to the label as well as attempting to start a new era of music videos inside of the city for the biggest groups around and even new groups who want to show themselves to everyone in the city. Once a proper new studio is purchased by the company in Los Santos the best of the best will want to come in and test the equipment out. Death Row Escrow, a legal/illegal middleman service, providing peace of mind for anyone to trade their assets with another individual. Worried about scammers? There’s a lot of them in the city, Death Row Escrow, will make sure every deal is done without hassle to any of the people involved.The company will not be biased whether a criminal or a legal worker wants to get a deal done every customer is welcome. Want to sell your property? Our brokers will hold the buyers cash in one of our bank accounts, and it will be released to you as soon as the asset is signed over to the buyer. This prevents both sides from being scammed. Death Row Escrow will also be middlemen for the criminal underworld whether it be for guns, drugs or anything in between. Our Death Row Escrow employee’s guarantee a non biased service, regardless of what is happening outside the deal, the circumstances of the city, nothing comes between our employees and business. Death Row would be the criminal organization that would be hiding inside this string of businesses. Not all members of Death Row Incorporated would be apart of the gang but the members who were inside of the company who were apart of the gang would be holding it down as the strong arm for the business. Try to fuck over a business deal? Death Row will come and show you why it wasn't in your best interest. The gang will be comprised of your average people they could be video editors for the company, they could be that guy you trust everyday to middleman your deals, you wouldn't know. The Death Row members will be set up as security for the company and its assets and truly make sure they are never fucked with. This group will also be in charge of moving weapons and drugs to keep the legal and illegal side of thing separate. With all that sh*t being surface level, the real criminal underbelly lies within their shipping routes. When owning an escrow company, it is of foremost importance that you are able to receive an asset from anywhere in the world. Whether it is a one of one Truffade Nero, being imported from the middle east for a Vinewood Director, or if Carlos & Alicia *REDACTED* order a crate of 5.56 ammunition straight from the Ukraine. The founders of Death Row Incorporated made sure they had the shipping routes ready for whatever was needed. The main focus for the group is to eventually be able to use these businesses to their advantage to run the biggest supply/distribution of illegal items the city has ever seen while staying under the government radar. Don't let anyone fuck with the business Get deals done no matter the cost Never scam anyone, business is what makes you your money Don't work with police ever Family comes first Don't let anyone know how much money you have Don't let anyone know your next move Don't trust anyone but the family itself Keep business and relationships separate, business always comes first Always follow command, they know best Acquire a property to hold the Record Label in Sign our first artist to the label Start a client base for the Escrow service Recruit a strong steady member count for the group as a whole Record and produce music videos that entertain all of Los Santos Maintain good relations with the big groups of Los Santos Maintain a regular supply of drug paraphernalia and weaponry to supply to the people of Los Santos Attempt to acquire a private jet to meet with offshore bankers and private investors Credits to: Jay Russo - Writing and Editing Michael Laurie- Writing and Editing Rafi Leib & Lauren Baker - Graphics Edited December 25, 2020 by mikebumbum 58 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
