Bye Well, my friend, we did it. Please for love of all that is holy, stay out of trouble. By the way, don't know if you heard but I just signed on to be the new host of underbelly of paradise. It's a great shame about my colleague Steve - will really miss him and his horrible outfits. But at least some good came out of his terrible death. I've finally got something for my pension. I hope we don't meet again. DN

ENOUGH
My friends We haven't met but both of you and your buddies have caused me huge problems. I can't see us establishing much of a friendship - but I will say this - you saved me a fortune as I got to buy back poor old Devin's stake at a hugely reduced cost due to the temporary collapse in our share price.
You will make me a lot of money. For that I thank you. For not having to deal with Devin any more. I thank you. Do not fuck with me again. I hope that is clear. No reply necessary.

A prominent Chinese gang Boss murdered.
Wei Cheng, a prominent Triad gang boss was murdered yesterday. His Triad had been weakened by a series of recent incidents, both in Los Santos and bizarrely up in Ludendorff, North Yankton. Mr. Cheng, a Chinese national, was believed to be prominent in a two-way drug and weapon trade between China and the US, smuggling materials in and out of the country via the Port of Los Santos.
Controversial investor gone.
Billionaire investor and life style guru Devin Weston has disappeared. Police suspect foul play, but no body has been recovered. Mr. Weston, 51, who rose to fame in the tech bubble and subsequently made more money in a host of other industries, including entertainment, the Internet, currency trading and luxury travel, recently caused controversy when he invested heavily in Merryweather, the notorious and discredited private security firm run by Don Percival. Police responded to sounds of gunfire at Mr. Weston's villas in the hills above Chumash, but despite signs of violence and several dead security guards, Mr. Weston himself was not found, dead or alive. Also missing was one of Mr. Weston's collection of luxury cars.
Harold Joseph Killed.
Los Santos Shepherd - Jerome Smith
A notorious member of the Chamberlain Gangster Families gang was killed yesterday, only months after he was released on parole. Harold OG Stretch was shot while playing basketball. No witnesses have come forward. Mr. Joseph was unmarried.
Not a merry day for Merryweather.
In a sad day for national security, private security company Merryweather has announced that it has shut down its domestic operations indefinitely following another high-profile incident, this time a shootout at a foundry in East Los Santos. Merryweather will switch focus back to its "bread and butter" security contracts in the Middle East where the enemies are less well-equipped, the glare of the media lens is less harsh, and preemptive strikes less likely to be taken out of context as "killing sprees".
Steve Haines, FIB Agent and TV host murdered while shooting TV show about being FIB Agent.
Los Santos Meteor - Anna Foster
Steve Haines, decorated FIB agent and host of the popular TV show "The Underbelly of Paradise" unwittingly helped expose that underbelly further yesterday as he was assassinated while filming a segment of his TV show on the Ferris Whale on Del Perro Pier. Agent Haines, who had twice recently been injured in the line of duty, had been an agent for nearly 20 years and a TV host for five.
FIB spokesman Gary Lane told the Los Santos Meteor "Agent Haines died a hero, doing what he loved, which was presenting a TV show. He really helped combine the chaos of anti-terrorism and the mindlessness of network television into one highly successful career.
Mr. Haines, who was not married, lived with his mother.

- @tttturtledog: No way! Steve Haines murdered! I love The Underbelly of Paradise! What do you reckon - IAA assassination or gangland revenge hit?
- @MerryweatherSecurity: Merryweather Security Consulting is winding down its United States operation. This is nothing to do with the congressional investigation into its activities. We will continue to offer innovative and cost effective warfare and foreign policy solutions throughout the developing world.
