Level 7 · 9 mo agoactually the 2019 trial cooked over 300 members so that invincible claim is outdated

Level 8 · 9 mo agoI don't buy the invincible narrative. The recent trials showed cracks and family members are turning informant so the blood oath isn't working.
Creed
Level 5 · 8 mo agoThinking this trial stops them is dumb. They make 60 billion a year. This changes absolutely nothing.
