Bars involved:

  • The Baja
  • Confettis

Dade Territory

Main Contact – Boss Type – Tyler – seems to have the DEA in his pocket.  Receives many shipments from Haiti and from South America.

Lately it appears that the higher priced Cargo has been something very different and Unique, coming in from South America.  The strange thing is that it appears to need to kept very cold and requires a lot of special handling.  They are not sure if Tyler is aware of this or if his people are doing this without his knowledge. But what is known is that A LOT of money is changing hands with this new “product”.

There appears to be no one really in charge in FLD – so corruption runs all over the place – cops have their hands in it like no tomorrow.  Goods that move between Miami and Lake Worth, which seems to be the crime center in Palm beach goes through someone they call “The Prince”.  None of these “special” goods are being taken to Lake Worth – it seems that all of those goods are staying in FLD.

Special Deliveries

The goods have been delivered to many points – Depending on the roll – the characters will learn the delivery locations:

* Vacant warehouses on Pier 15

* Large Warehouse in Pompano

* Used Car lot in Deerfield Beach

* University of Miami School of Medicine –

Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation Department of Human Genetics

1501 NW 10th Avenue  – Miami, FL

* University of Miami  – Miller School of Medicine –

Gautier Building – U of M Main Campus

These goods generally come in either small boxes (hand-sized) to large coolers.  Normally only about one shipment per week comes in.

There have also been special deliveries made from Africa – specifically from Angola, Camaroon and Morocco.  These deliveries generally come in either large pallet sized crates or small steel boxes.

Drug Traffic

The Drug traffic is fairly large in South Florida and Miami is at the center of it.  Although Tyler is “officially” in charge, there is man named Luiz that most deal with directly.  Supposedly Luiz reports to Tyler but people are unsure.  Luiz is the leader of a gang called the Black Dragons which is mainly run out of Little Havana.

Luiz has strong connections in most of South America and parts of Mexico.  They mainly import Cocaine, but also have a small traffic business of marijuana (profits are much lower on this).  Several DEA agents are in their pockets and they always have up to date Coast Guard patrol schedules, sting operations plans and much more.  They are able to basically bring their drugs in from South American without too much effort.

Once the drugs arrive in Miami, about 80% of them stay in the Miami-broward area.  About 10% of all shipments make it to the WPB territory.  Drugs that come in and out of Palm Beach are very controlled and since Palm Beach does not have a “drug problem” much of the DEA and other agency resources are kept in Miami.

Slave Traffic

The Black Dragons have recently, within the last 10 years or so, expanded into slave trading.  They import girls from South America and lately, some from Europe as well, to work in sweat shops and as prostitutes.   The “friendlier” girls are moved into the Prostitution rings while the less friendly and less attractive girls are sold at a discount to local sweat shops.

As of the last 2-3 years, they have expanded this into selling girls for domestic use.  Supposedly, they are being bought by very wealthy families to be used as maids and house staff, but once they leave the rings, no one really knows what happens to them.

No slave trade is taking place in WPB, but it is beginning to start branching off into FLD.  Several girls have been sent to the Tampa and Jacksonville areas as well.
