Document Summary
Covert advertising - look for supplier above. Quality, quantity, price, service, reputation and credit. Dif cult to unload poor quality of drugs. Do not cut (other ingredients put into drugs) at high level. Expansion of business requires volume of supply. Discounts on bulk purchases (maintain competitive edge) Low on supply = loan or good rate to help you keep going. Non-egalitarian (senior and a junior) - junior = more risk, less pro t. May use empty threats/intimidation/having a rep of being violent but not using it. Crews/syndicates are composed of long time friends. Fear of outsiders - one must vouch for them. Will turn down expansion if there is a lack of trust. Deroches sample men remained small rather than sacri ce security of themselves or syndicate. Hldt will spend more to remain safe. Many storage areas, multiple forms of transportation, smurfs (couriers who collect debts, sell or distribute)
