Lead story

A Don Deposed? The Commission Says So

The LCN Commission says it granted permission to remove the Bonanno don. Bonanno answered with a history lesson — and did not answer this paper.

City Desk • Filed Wednesday morning

Los Santos — The claim arrived the way power now announces itself in this city: in a story, late at night. On October 16, the LCN Commission — the body that publishes for Colombo, Bonanno, Lucchese, Gambino and Chicago — stated that a Bonanno capo had deposed the Bonanno don after asking the Commission for permission, which it granted. The Commission presented it as settled. It is printed here as what it is: the Commission’s claim.

The body claiming the power is the story underneath the story. In September, by its own highlights, the same Commission removed a Gambino don and appointed his successor. In early October it published a sanctioned execution series against the Neopolo family, with Bonanno soldiers named. A table that can depose a don of one of its own five families is claiming the oldest power a commission can claim.

Bonanno’s own page does not acknowledge any of it. Its posts still style its head as Boss. On October 17, Colombo commented on this paper’s own post asserting the “legitimate LCN Commission,” and Lucchese answered in solidarity in the same thread. Outside that circle the claim is contested — Rastelli has called this body a “poser LCN commission,” and at least one other outfit claims an LCN seat it does not hold on the five’s roster.

The family’s first public movement came Sunday night, October 18: a reel captioned with the real 1984 history of a Bonanno boss moving to eliminate a capo whose power had become a threat to his leadership. The Chronicle reports the reel as the family’s movement. It is neither an acknowledgment nor a denial in words, and the deposition claim stays claimed.

The Chronicle asked the Bonanno family for its response before publication, on October 17. By the Tuesday 9:00 PM deadline, the family had not responded.

Massacre claim

The claim BMF would not deny

Los Santos — On Monday afternoon, October 19, Musitano’s stories claimed a “BMF Strip Club Massacre,” naming a Black Mafia Family figure plus unnamed associates; a second story claimed a “BMF Casino” hit. The claims are single-source — Musitano only — and stay claimed. The Chronicle asked the Black Mafia Family for its response before publication. Its reply, in full: “Smd an get out my inbox.” That reply is not a denial: it does not address the claim. The same day, the family’s godfather spent hours publicly attacking the LCN Commission’s legitimacy — “fake blessings,” in his words — and defending the Ardolino family, without addressing the massacre claim. No denial, and no word from the named figure, had surfaced by press time.

Ceasefire — claimed

Capone sits down with Merlino

Los Santos — Capone’s own post, self-dated October 17, says its godfather and a Capone figure sat down with two Merlino figures and “organized a ceasefire between the two families.” One origin only: Merlino has not independently confirmed. Merlino is not a new family — its own site dates its founding to June 29, 2018, under a Merlino don; it is an old family newly visible to this scene. The same post’s caption settles Capone’s own table: a consigliere, with the Rockford Outfit named beneath.

Unicom

One table, in full

Los Santos — The Wo Hop To Triads published Unicom’s platform across six stories on October 19: it will “clean and rid of all bias decision making,” “kill importing,” decentralize, “dismantle the pop up families,” and outlast its founders — and non-joiners were told to take themselves to FiveM. Two days earlier the family restated that Unicom “is the only community we’re officially in and supporting at this time.” A platform is not a roster: sign-ons on record remain zero.

Succession — claimed

A Vercetti godfather, unnamed

Los Santos — A Neopolo enforcer’s reel on October 17 claims a friend “ascends to Godfather” of the Vercetti family, passing the boss title to a successor. The ascending godfather is not named, and Vercetti’s own page carried nothing on it. One origin, unconfirmed — printed as a claim only.

Below the Fold

Sendoffs, shootouts and a quiet giant

Vice City wire

The sendoffs begin

Los Santos — Wo Hop To posted its “GTA V Sendoff” reel on October 17, closing with “see you all in Leonida!” The same day, the Casella family posted that it is “closing the books on Los Santos,” properties listed and assets turning to cash, “one step closer to Miami.” And the Marzoni don posted his goodbye to Los Santos, telling Vice City it “hasn’t seen nothing yet.” Three families, one direction — teases and farewells, not completed moves, and the paper prints them as such.

Shootout — claimed

Musitano claims Hawick; peace, rejected

Los Santos — Musitano claimed a shootout win over the Hawick Heartless Felons on October 18 — “we left ya shooters exactly where they lay at” — with no named casualty. A day later the family’s stories said a peace feeler had come from Hawick’s side and “I reject that.” Hawick’s own account of either the shootout or a feeler is not on file. Both items are Musitano’s claims, printed as claims.

Lucchese

“We ain’t shut down”

Los Santos — A Vanetti story on October 19 claimed Lucchese “has been pushed out of the community,” with videos promised; none had surfaced by press time. Lucchese’s own stories answered the standing, if not the claim: “We ain’t shut down. Just waiting things out until GTA6. Temporary Retirement due to the CF Community being dead.” The family also published a claimed whack of a TGCF figure this week — no gamertag. A giant sitting down is still a giant — the map below carries Lucchese as watching, by its own account.

New name on the map

The Nightfall Collective

Los Santos — A secretive religious-military order pitched itself to this paper through the mailbox this week, via a magazine feature shared to the desk: the Nightfall Collective, which positions itself outside the city’s four lines — “not a street gang, not a crime family, not an MC.” Its published structure runs Grandmaster, High Council, Arbiters, Wardens, Initiates, the Pledge; its claimed portfolio runs from the Vanilla Unicorn to a private military company. All of it is the Collective’s own presentation, claimed and unverified — and it is the first organization of its kind to come to the paper this way.

The Sit-Down

A weekly conversation with the figures running Los Santos

Portrait of the Wo Hop To Triads confidante — Feng · Wo Hop To Triads confidante

Feng

Wo Hop To Triads — close confidante of the Dragonhead, in mafia terms akin to a consigliere (his own description)

Answered via DM, October 2026. A kind message from Feng praised the paper’s coverage; the Chronicle pitched the conversation off it.

In character, for the record — introduce yourself: your name in the life, and your position in the family.

Chyang “White Eye” Feng AKA Uncle Feng — triad ranks remain a secret, tho some presume im similar to a Consigliere in mafia terms and close confidante of the dragonhead.

Every family has an origin story. What’s yours — how did this family come up in Los Santos?

Our dragonhead formed the yu jian chinese gang in 2008, further establishing the Wo Hop To Triads in 2009 as 1/3 founding triads and the founder of triad com, bringing it to 5 in liberty city. Our faction was Flying dragons; in los santos the expansion factions were Golden Koi Boys / Kazama Clan.

What’s the biggest misconception people have about your family?

Being triads n the coms former segregation on all platforms it took years before ppl accepted us so weve always had to follow every coms 1% rules as were involved in mob mc and sg com but primarily mob until hopefully a unicom works out

The city’s been loud lately — alliances, hits, fallouts. Where does your family stand in all of it?

We have an alliance with the O’Rilley family, weve been involved in numerous hits spanning over a decade.

Walk me through a night that defines what your family is about.

We discuss the options, plans etc. We check on our people n do the best we can to maintain high honor.

Loyalty gets talked about a lot in this life. What does it actually look like day to day?

Day to day the loyalty maintains high — each member was chosen and inducted through verious test and time.

What’s the one rule in your family that nobody breaks — and what happens if they do?

Theres no single rule they break — were bound by oaths, we follow or die.

Last one — where is this family a year from now?

Wed like to be far larger n stronger that many years from now still pushin and still keeping our reputation of high honor and respect tho who knows 5 years from now we could all be retired only time will tell

In conclusion — “In our world its not as simple as the mafia, a club, or even a cartel, we operate bound by blood rituals and oaths, initiations tied to the soul itself and we uphold n protect our oaths or die for we know not the meaning of disloyalty only honor”

Editor’s note: The Sit-Down runs interviewees’ answers in full, as promised. Claims about other families in the answers above are the interviewee’s own.

The Money

Family businesses

Ironwood — Los Santos

Iron Fist Cigars

An Ironwood figure took the cover of Los Santos Magazine this week at the center of what the cover calls his luxury smoke empire, Iron Fist Cigars — Ocean View Maduro to Midnight Maduro. A front with a cover shoot: the money announcing itself in the open.

Nightfall Collective — citywide, as presented

The Nightfall Portfolio — claimed

The Collective’s own presentation claims the Vanilla Unicorn, automotive shops, logistics operations and a private military company. Claimed holdings, printed as claimed — the desk has verified none of them.

The Commission’s View

One Table, or None

The underworld of Los Santos has never lacked for ambition. This week it showed something rarer: a reach for structure. A bloc that signed a non-mafia alliance on Saturday proposed, by Tuesday, a single commission for every outfit in the city — mafia, clubs, gangs, cartels alike. A defendant proclaimed his own acquittal; the court, notably, has not proclaimed it. Two families signed a ceasefire. The pattern is not peace. It is organization.

This paper takes no side in the city’s quarrels, and it will not start now. But it will say this: cities like this one run on rules everyone can point to, or they run on whoever shot last. A single table, if it ever sits, would be the first time every power in Los Santos answered to the same roof. Already the city argues over whose table is the legitimate one — as if the argument were not itself the oldest proof that none yet is. Whether that roof holds is another question — tables built in a week have a way of burning in one.

The Chronicle will be watching. It suggests the city do the same.
