BURTON DRUG TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION
Police call it temporary but the locals say it is permanent. Crenshaw, Los Santos is now a “victim neighborhood” and a home to one of the most prominently growing crime groups in the state lead by reputed and previous Ganton blood, Lloyd Burton.
Los Santos detectives, aware of the notorious Lloyd Burton, describe him as “the second coming of Frank Lucas but smarter”, which to many is easily an understatement. The ex-blood OG was light years ahead of his previous street gang subordinates and counterparts. Informants that once knew of Burton say he was “always chasing the money while others waited for it,” and the determined mindset gave LEO the concept that Burton was going to be a problem.
After multiple indictments, gang murders and natural deaths, the blood gang in Ganton Circle disappeared off the map. Many leaders to the coterie were either killed or booked life sentences in San Anne’s brutal correctional facility. Despite Burton and his affiliates having a reputation, LS detectives had zero information that could successfully prosecute and imprison them. So among adversity, Burton and his tight-knit crew laid underground and used the gang downfall as a way to make an uproar—and so they did. Burton and his followers accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars through drug and weapon trafficking that they eventually laundered through legitimate businesses and companies across the state. The FBI, LSPD nor the IRS could catch on. Burton and his group were always two steps ahead.
Eventually, within due time, Burton and his people come out of the woodwork, claiming Crenshaw, Los Santos as their playground. The connections Burton had made during his tenure in Ganton had become even more important than they were before. Money began delegating through Burton’s affiliates to his networks, which eventually established a large trafficking ring with a headquarters in the hood - where the gang was a disguise for a growing conglomerate known as the Burton Drug Trafficking Organization.
Very similar to Frank Lucas, Burton equipped his street knowledge to form a large monopoly. By late 2017, almost every “lick” was a mission by his thugs, nearly every particle of cocaine, crack-rock or bud of marijuana was all in part sold because of Burton’s doing. The entire organization dominated the corners of Crenshaw but operated like the factions Burton associated with—mobs, cartels and syndicates. The hierarchy stayed off the streets and had their own platoons of goons that monitored the lower level, acting as mafia enforcers for the block, and every piece of revenue acquired on the streets eventually touched hands with the man behind it all, Lloyd Burton, the orchestrator, boss and kingpin of the eastern chunk of the state.
The complexity of the organization structure seems transparent because of street gangs, but what the police don’t know is what the police will never know. Burton and his associates move like they’re playing chess and will continue to successfully oust all competition from the western seaboard and soon dominate the criminal underworld past the national level.
Out of Character
The Burton Drug Trafficking Organization is incorporates all levels of the drug trade in contemporary America.
