The Mandem/Major Events

Forming The Mandem
The Mandem started as a small friendship group originating from the UK. The initial group consisted of Dwayne Flores, Eli Porter, Remy Brown and Keith Adams. In the early weeks the group developed a lot, with Ali Ababwa becoming close to the group, followed by Moses Khan, and then Tommy Tate - while Keith drifted away from the group. Before they officially identified as The Mandem, the group's criminal background was limited but not bare; they mostly conducted petty crime rather than heists or gang shootouts. Much of their time during the early stages was spent working legal jobs such as fishing, hunting and taxi driving. Eventually, when the group decided they wanted to progress further in both the criminal and business worlds, becoming an indentifiable group was seen as the best way forward. After locating a suitable block to claim as their territory, and devising business ideas for the area, the group was formed in May 2021. The seven OG's were Dwayne, Eli, Remy, Ali, Moses and Tommy - with no one appointed leader.

A Leader is Appointed
On August 19, 2021, After a long meeting between Stacey, Tommy, Moses, Dwayne, and Eli. Dwayne wanted to make a change for The Mandem and implement a hierarchy. This left the group with a big choice to make which would have a major impact on how they progress, and how they could guide the gang. However, because Dwayne knew he couldn't guide The Mandem in the right direction, he said he wouldn't be the leader. After Dwayne counted himself out of this new position, he then questioned Tommy on whether he would be ready to take a position with this much responsibility. After some discussion on the future of the gang as well as Tommy's visions for The Mandem, the group all came to an agreement that from that moment forward, Tommy would be the leader of The Mandem.

After several weeks after Tommy's disappearance, Patar got a call from Tommy, who was in London. During this call, he made Patar the official leader of the gang, in his absence.

The Roadmen
On 21st February, 2022, Adam called Tommy to check up on him and update him on what the Mandem were up to and how he and Eli had taken the initiative to make progression in the meth and weed game. Adam, Eli and he went aside to talk about the gang. Eli gave him the news that he had finally got his own strain and he would be taking lead of the weed business for the gang. He mentioned how he made a group, namely, Ved, Jay, Shankz, and Big Toe who would work for him. Adam brought up the subject of meth game, and that now the gang had two meth tables, they would have a better production of meth and would do meth runs soon. They brought up the idea of Ved Jiggyjoglue becoming MDMA, and creating a 'street team' called RoadMen to bring in other people that they can trust as they expand the MDM turf and make progression for the gang. Tommy agreed with them and said in a future meeting, he would tell the gang, that in his absence Adam and Eli and the OGs (Dwayne and Moses) would be in command.

After having talks with Adam and Eli, Tommy gave them them the permission to start the RoadMen. On the 23rd February, Patar and Eli decided it was better to start sooner than later and brought it up to Tommy who said yes. Patar and Eli invited Shankz to be the first members of the Roadmen (RDM), a sub-group of The Mandem who run the streets and protect the Mandem Turf while handling the underground businesses of MDM.

On 25th February, Eli and Adam invited Jay Martin, to help alongside Shankz. On 28th February, everybody in the gang par Dwayne met inside Patar's house along with Shankz and Ved, discussing RDM, meth and weed. They decided they wanted to do a meth run the next day and Vince would be the one with the rep on the streets while Patar would focus on cooking. In the following months Lyon, Sparky and Ved would be recruited, as well as Matt, LJ and Tommy.

A New Structure is Formed
The gang started realising that they need more people around them who were useful and loyal to the gang who could one day be MDM. Individually, they started realising they need to open their gates to more people and start MDMA from the beginning. On 15 June, after a MDM meeting where everyone was present after a long time, a lot of decisions to change the gang in the upcoming weeks. During the meeting, Tommy put in place a structure for when he is not around.


 * Patar Bellosh the third-in-command
 * Dean Quincy the enforcer

They agreed that T would talk to the Roadmen, about bringing them into MDMA. They also decided that after a week or two they would consider people for new MDMA and a voting system to bring in new changes to the gang e.g. new members.

With their increased numbers and new hierarchy, The Mandem drastically improved their operations. They would often have ten or more people selling weed within their turf at the same time, and were able to effectively fight off the PD, which lead to the PD being more hesitant to respond to calls within The Mandem's turf. During this time they also got a warehouse, the first MDM warehouse since their creation, they bought it for $600k from Kevin Ram.

On 30th June, Patar as 3rd in command dissolved RDM officially for indefinitely and brought in all the boys into MDMA. On July 6, 2022, Winston Bolt was also brought into MDMA.

A New Era of Hierarchy
Patar now becoming the de facto leader of the gang, he wanted a high command with him to get more structure in the gang. On 6th September, 2023, Patar decided to make Eli the 3rd in command of Mandem and along with his help he decided to look for people who could be added to the new High Council of Mandem. On 23rd October, 2023 during a MDM meeting, Eli announced that Sparky, Jay and Denzel will be the new High Council Members of Mandem.

Buying the Block
On 21st December, the construction began little by little, with the garage being added first, courtesy of Francis J Francer who owns the Realtor business. The next day, apartments were available for purchase in the Block. Two days after this, a ladder was added, the removal of the construction equipment next to the pool, a wall on top of one of the buildings was removed, bridges were added between the buildings and a Mandem spray tag was put over the billboard in permanent paint.

On December 27th, major construction was completed on the block. This included fences and gates at all three entrances, access to the third floor of the apartment complex, United Kingdom flags at the main entrance, Mandem paint at the meeting spot, water in the pool, a table tennis table (in memory of Remy Brown), a football goal painted on a wall, the removal of the billboard and the addition of a mural featuring all nines members, as well as the door to Adam's apartment being made shorter.

On December 30th, more construction was done on the block. This included the bricks being changed, the entire block being repainted to grey, as opposed to yellow, a 'No Ball Games' sign next to the goal, 'Did you die tho?' graffiti on one of the walls, the removal of the sun loungers around the pool, the removal of the palm trees, additional cover on top of the roofs, additional vents on the roof, added cover to the ladder on the main building, added a microphone and speakers on one of the balconies, added a 'No Backseaters' sign in the parking area and access to the first and second levels of the secondary apartment building.

On January 25th, while in a war with BBMC, before they began shooting for the day, Mandem wanted to make sure what they could call their turf and what they couldn't. They discussed for a few minutes and after talking to each other and discussing, they decided to call the whole of Cougar Avenue and Prosperity Street around the Block, making the neighboring the buildings part of their block which would allow them to move freely more.

The Weapon Bench
On December 7, 2021, The Mandem were approached by a man that claimed to be Jesus' brother. He met Tommy, Dean and Patar at the dam, where they were given three McLarens to chase him in. They were then told to chase him and try and handcuff him in thirty minutes. After a long chase, where three of the four cars were disabled, they finally managed to catch and handcuff him. They then let him go and were taken to a container, which Dean was given a key to. They then went inside and found a weapons bench, that at the time could only make advanced lockpicks, thermite and desert eagles.

They then went to The Mandem block, where they had a meeting about what they should do. They decided that only full members of The Mandem should know, and if anyone were to leak the information they would be kicked from the gang. On February 9, 2022, Dean told Vinny that he had a bench after Randy accidentally told Dean that Vinny also had a bench. Vinny then told Tommy that he himself had a bench and that he had also been told about Dean's bench, which Tommy did not seem to mind.


 * On May 9th, 2022, Dean accessed blue prints of a Red Telephone Booth (Now you can call stuarts)
 * On On July 8th, 2022, Dean accessed the blue prints of a Box Of Tissues, a bottle of Hand Lotion, and a Water Gun (that cost 99999 refined plastic)
 * On On July 26th, 2022, Dean accessed the blue prints of an IKEA Bag and Koettbullar.

On the 31st of July 2022, Dean arrived at his weapons bench preparing to craft some deagles and FINALLY after 236 days..... found blueprints to craft M70's and Shotguns, which he and the mandem celebrated.

MDM Travel to South America
Before changes come into the city, MDM took a flight to South America for a two days. They met different gangs who held the same city as theirs. They quickly found out how friendly everyone was and made friends the HOA, Gang Gang MOB MOB, and their counterparts who held down the block, Hooligans. While holding a block party, Adam and Patar being the highest ranking members in the gang, gave the MDM chain to the leaders, Kate and Mike,giving them permission to rep the chain till the end, to which they happily accepted and carried on with the party.

Mandem Enterprises
Mandem with their new ideas fresh in mind, wanted to take it to the next level. When Tommy was approached by Dean Watson to create a partnership with Cerberus, and help the gang bring their ideas into life. On 26th April, DW, Lang, Leslie and Harry met Tommy, Adam, Vince and Patar to discuss the initial talks and set up for further meetings due soon.

Gold Rush was the first company under MDME, which was a great success. After roughly a month of testing, the business launched and made over 10 million dollars in two days.

Adam Ababwa Returns
Four months and six days after Adam had disappeared, Tommy got an anonymous ping early in the morning when he was outside of Bolingbroke Penitentiary discussing the imprisonment of Moses, Patar and Ved after police had caught them in an underground methlab. Although there was some initial confusion on the sender and the nature of the anonymous ping, Tommy, Dean, Eli, P Money and Abdul decided to investigate and go to the location of the ping. The anonymous ping led to a location on the breakwater at the most southern part of Del Pierro Beach. At this location they found a riddle on a piece of paper, which would lead them to the location of the next clue. They decided to follow this trail of clues to see what they would find at the end. After solving the first clue which lead them to Humane Labs and Research, Lana decided to join everyone in their endeavor to solve the clues, meeting up with them at the scrapyard in Sandy Shores. The next clues would lead them to a factory in a scrapyard in the city, the alien camp in Sandy Shores and a tunnel at the most northern part of the Island. At this tunnel, they encountered a man who fled in a car upon seeing them while screaming "my treasure". The party, realizing that this man had obtained the next clue, gave chase. After a short pursuit, they managed to force the man outside of his car in an attempt to talk to him. They agreed to split the treasure if he gave them the next clue which the man agreed to reluctantly. After obtaining the information, Tommy decided to go back on his word and shoot the man instead of sharing the treasure. This final clue would lead them to a few small islands near the bridge close to Fort Zancudo. On one of these islands, Tommy, Eli and Dean found a small weathered shack which they approached with guns drawn. Hearing a voice in the shack, they slowly entered to find a confused and frantic Adam with long hair and a messy long beard. After confirming each other's identity and the initial confusion having subsided, a happy reunion followed where everyone would learn what had happened to Adam in the four months since his disappearance. He informed everyone that a group of Ukrainians kidnapped him and that they drugged him on a daily basis with nos. In the end he managed to escape with the help of a man named Solotov. Afterwards Adam would also inform them of the fact that the same people who kidnapped him had also kidnapped and killed fellow gang members Remy and Ali.

Ten Days Without a Leader
On November 20, 2021, Tommy told Adam, Moses and Patar that he would be leaving the city and said that he didn't know if he would be coming back. Patar wanted to know if he was joking or not, so he told him to prove it by telling him that he loves him, as he would never say it to him. Tommy then told both Patar and Moses that he loved them, and Adam mentioned that he had already said it to him weeks prior. Tommy then told them to make sure that they kept progressing without him and drove off. While he was alone, he tweeted 'Goodbye Los Santos, it's been an honour.', before making a few phonecalls. He then called Ramee to tell him that he was leaving the city. Ramee said that he would miss him, and Tommy thanked him for everything that he had done for him. He then called Guy Jones and asked him to take care of The Mandem for him, which he agreed to do. After doing this, he went to the airport and tweeted a picture of himself in front of a sign that said 'Adios', and tweeted 'Don't know about me I'm Tommy T for life.' After he tweeted this, Adam and Vince ran up to him and tackled him. He told them to leave him, then dropped some of his belongings and told Adam to take them. He then walked down the stairs, leaving Adam and Vince crying.

A few hours later, Vince received a call from an Unknown Number. The man, through a deep modulated voice, told him that he had kidnapped Tommy and had him strapped to an electric chair. He then told him that to save him they would need to sacrifice the rest of The Mandem, and that Tommy had two days to live. After saying this, he hung up. Vince then checked twatter, as the man had told him to, and saw a tweet that Tommy made saying, 'When your flight gets delayed...' Vince, along with Shivvy went and looked at all of the torture spots they could think of in the city, but they did not find anything.

The next day, Shivvy told Adam, Patar and Dwayne about what had happened after they went to sleep. They then met with Vince and were given the full story. Patar then received a call from the man, he once again said that he had Tommy strapped to an electric chair. He also said that he wanted to see where The Mandem's loyalty lies and if they would all give themselves up to save Tommy. He then told him that he would be contacted again soon with and he would give him a clue on how to find Tommy.

A few hours later, Dean was called, however he said that he would likely forget or misremember the clue, so the man then called Dwayne. He told him that the clue was 'Tommy is a tree, and within this clue you will find his roots.' The group then spilt up, eventually figuring out that they needed to go to Tommy's roots, the taxi centre. They arrived and found a note telling them to tweet out the word 'Confirmed' and wait for the next clue.

The next day, The Mandem met and debated what they should do. Dean wanted to get others to help them look for Tommy, but the others were against the idea. Without the others knowing, Dean called Curtis, Mickey and Claire that Tommy had gone missing and may have been kidnapped. Shortly after he told Claire, she informed him that he had sent her a message on the day that he was meant to fly out of the city. When the others found out that Dean had told people, Dwayne punched him with knuckle dusters and knocked him out. They then took him to pillbox, and began to talk about having a possible second in command.

Dwayne then received a call from the man, who told him that he was not calling in regards to a second clue. He said that The Mandem had caused too many problems, and hoped that this would steer them in the right direction and that life as they know it would be changed forever. He then said that The Mandem would no longer see each other that same as things may have happened during the time that they were looking for Tommy. He then told him that Tommy was perfectly fine, and that he was never kidnapped. He said that it was a test and that they failed, and they would be hearing from him in three days, however they never heard from him again.

After finding out that Tommy was safe, Patar and Eli decided to try and figure out why he had left the city. They thought of all the possible suspects. This list included Lana, Heath, Bunny and The Mandem. They also discussed how Tommy left the city the same day that the news about Abdul's empeachment was released. While reading the article, they saw that it noted that Abdul had paid over $1,000,000 for a room that should have cost $252,000 over nine weeks. They then worked out that the largest room in the Diamond Casino Hotel, the same room that The Mandem have, would have cost that much. They then went to the courthouse and looked at Abdul's profile and saw that he did have a room a the Casino Hotel.

They then questioned Lana and decided that they could trust her, so they brought her into their investigation. They decided to go to the Casino to see if they could find anything in Abdul's room. After exploring his room, and looking around the casino, they could not find anything and left. They went back to the courthouse, where they ran into Stacey, who asked if Tommy was okay, as she had recieved a message from him. They asked her what the message said, but she changed the subject so they became suspecious of her. After leaving her, they made a plan to kidnap her the next day and read the text. They also agreed to question Abdul.

The next day, Patar and Eli arranged a meeting with Abdul. At first, Abdul played it off as he had no idea why Tommy left. However after a while, he decided to tell them that Tommy had helped him steal money from the state, and that he may have left to avoid police attention.

While Tommy was away, The Mandem had to operate without their leader for the first time since Tommy was given the role. The first couple of days were quite chaotic, with lots of butting heads and arguments, particularly while they believed Tommy had been kidnapped. After this, they often split off into smaller groups, which seemed to fix this and they ended up managing to be very successful this way.

When Tommy returned to the city, he said that he left the city to help one of his friends back in London. He said that he didn't know how dangerous it would be, and he didn't know if he would be back. While talking to Randy, Tommy said that multiple people got 'wetted up'.

After returning to the city, Tommy became ill and stayed in his apartment for three days. During this time, The Mandem robbed the vault twice, which seemed to improve their planning and communication skills somewhat. For both of these jobs, they were accompanied by Alan, who told them that he would not help them again, to push them to hit the vault without any help. When Tommy was healthy again, he was told about this and seemed interested in hacking the vault.

Tommy vs Dwayne
23rd December 2021 - Dwayne got shot for less. End of story.

(but did he die tho?)

Heist Progression Arc
6th January 2022 - After the gang stopped robbing banks together due to Tommy being bored of it and not wanting to rush banks at tsunami, they wanted to rekindle his passion and get the whole group to learn how to do jobs without Tommy, as he was the only hacker. This rekindling happened after a group meeting where Lana and Dean shared information they had learnt about the VAR heist and a potential casino heist after hanging out with CG on several occasions. Dean came to the conclusion in this meeting that the different heists were connected with each other and that there was more to robbing banks than met the eye, steering the focus of bank robberies from financial gain to potential progression. After a brief discussion, the group decided to buy a practice laptop, that would be kept in their hotel room so that more gang members could learn how to hack. This would in turn remove some of the future burden of Tommy, while improving the overall skillset of the group. Adam and Lana, having past experience with the hack, bypassed the practice hack after a few attempts.

Upon knowing about the heist progression, Tommy and Dean questioned Randy Bullet about how it was all connected, and Randy told him that he'd help them with the more next heist if/after Mandem successfully robbed the vault as a gang without help from others. At a later date, while the group was at the block, Cleanbois pulled up and Yuno mentioned to Tommy about the Lower Vault and the Yacht. He gave Tommy a C4, and told him it would come in handy soon, and also offered to help if they needed to bypass something. During the Mandem meeting that followed, they all agreed to either hit a Bobcat or a Mandem Vault the next day. When they realized that the dongles were dying, they agreed to hit the Vault the next day, where Tommy would be hacking and they would follow a movie-like plan.

Oiled up in the RIG
Mandem completed the Oil Rig heist on 19th December 2022, during the NA storm with the squad of Adam, Matt, Patar, Sparky, Cruizer and Winston. Matt completed all the hacks himself, essentially soloing the rig. After successfully completing the rig after several tries over several days, they got paid out $2.1M and 2520 X-Coin.

On 31st December 2022, Mandem completed the Oil Rig heist again, but during the EU storm with the squad of Matt, Patar, Saint, Eli, Kookie and Zaceed. Matt and Zaceed completed all the hacks.

Mandem Meth Run
On 1st March 2022, Mandem did their first meth run. The team consisted of Vince,  Adam , Dean, Patar and because Moses was not awake, they brought along Ved. They completed it successfully and received 256k from which 160k went to Patar and the rest kept 16k each. Since then, Mandem have done three more meth runs, out of which they have only failed one.

The gang started doing Meth Runs again on 22nd November, after Denzel cooked 50 bags for them in less than a week, Cruizer successfully drove and they got $411k. On 28th November, after another 50 bags by Denzel, Jay successfully completed the meth run and got $403k. On 30th November, Denzel finished the 3rd batch for Jay to start the meth run and Matt to complete it, getting $431k. On 2nd December, Jay completed his 2nd run cooked by Denzel, and got $431k. On 8 December, Jay completed a record time meth run in 9 minutes, cooked by Denzel and the boys, he got $400k. On 13 December, Jay did his upgraded meth run going 5/5, also cooked by Denzel, he got $389k. On 19 December, Jay did his 2nd upgraded meth run going 6/6 close to 10 minutes, complete MDM's 7th run, cooked by Denzel, getting $404k. On 24 December, Matt completed his 2nd run while doing a classic mdm comms run, cooked by Denzel and the boys, and he got paid $408k.

In total MDM have made $2,846,000 from 8 successful meth runs.

The Boat Heist
On August 4, 2022, The Mandem set out at sea to ambush three boats and collect $300,000 worth of guns after receiving intel from Pigeon. The squad was Tommy, Adam, Winston, Jay, Vince, and Dean (who was picked last).

Winston began scouting up and down the west coast of the island for the convoy of three boats while Dean drove around looking for a Jet Ski before calling Ramee to borrow one of his boats, meanwhile, Tommy, Adam, Jay and Vince drove the rusty boat that Pigeon had left at the docks for them. While sailing to the pinged location and narrowly avoiding sailing straight into the armed convoy, Tommy, Adam, Jay, and Vince met up with Dean. Vince joined Dean in his boat and as two units they surrounded the boats opening fire on the convoy, while also all wondering why they thought it was a good idea to have Winston alone in a helicopter.

After mowing down the armed guards, the Mandem drew in closer and Winston attempted to land on the boat, exploding his helicopter and the boat as he sank to the bottom of the ocean. Thankfully, the other 5 members were able to recover the loot and later, they safely collected Winston from Viceroy Hospital after he was 'ocean dumped by Ved'.

The First PD Wipe
On August 6, 2022, The Mandem wiped Shift 1 PD for the first time. During the war with MG at the MDM turf, the police got heavily involved and started chasing the MG. Dean tried helping the Mara boys and pitted the cops to help them. After that the cops boxed the MG boys at the turf, the gang made a call to clap the cops for ruining their war. After that, Jay, Sparky and Adam shot down cops from the rooftop while Dean and Ved picked cops one by one. After a few minutes of continuous gunfights. MDM wiped 22 cops out of the 30 cops on duty and Brian Knight made the decision to pull off the few cops left and surrendered. It was the gang's first successful PD wipe with only Patar and Matt going down. Sparky started making a song a few minutes later about the whole situation. The 22 Freestyle is about the PD wipe and the RM War.

Civil War
On September 13, 2022, a group including Dean, Adam, Jay, Matt, SK and Marie were talking when Dean told Jay to walk away, and then mentioned his gun bench, before shooting Marie and ocean dumping her. While at the pier Adam was asked if he trusted Jay with the knowledge of the bench and he said no, however Jay heard it and took it as Adam did not trust him. The following day, Moses accidentally mentioned Dean's bench in a car with Marie, so she was ocean dumped again. They originally lied to Vince, telling him that Suarez was the one the did it, but they eventually told him the truth. This lead to a few arguments but it was eventually resolved.

On September 15, 2022, Tommy woke up and was met by a group of people in the block who were planning to hit a Fleeca and a Paleto. He asked them if anything important had happened in the last couple of days as he hadn't been around, and they told him that nothing had happened. Vince then pulled him to a side and told him about the Marie ocean dumping situation and that Dwayne had put a Mandem vest on Saint and told her that she was MDMA. After hearing this, he then got in his car with Patar and they drove to an underground car park when Patar started to update him on what he had missed. Zaceed then called Tommy and asked for a laptop that he had, so they went back to the block to give it to him. Tommy opened his trunk to put it in it and found Adam hiding in it. Tommy then pulled out a shotgun and asked Adam what he was doing in the trunk, Adam said that he was going to update him on what had happened and wasn't taking it too seriously. Tommy was annoyed by the situation and how Adam was acting so he shot him, and he and Patar then left to continue their conversation, and the others took Adam to the hospital. Dwayne gave Adam two bags of blood, which was enough to save him, but he was then admitted to the ICU.

A group meeting happened at the block, which ended up as a heated argument between Dwayne and Tommy. Dwayne felt that everyone deserved an apology from Tommy, however he insisted that only Adam deserved an apology. Tommy then said that Dwayne was making it about himself, rather than Adam, as he has mentioned the fact that he had saved Adam's life, that he wanted an apology and that no one in the group backed him. The conversation then shifted to how you shouldn't shoot your own family, and Dwayne wanted everyone to agree that they would never do it again, however Tommy wouldn't agree to it. Dwayne said that if you shoot family, you are not family anymore. Tommy then said that he and Dwayne weren't Mandem anymore by Dwayne's word and asked if Dwayne wanted to live by his word, but the others broke it up and got them to calm down.

Tommy then had a talk with Moses, where Moses asked Tommy why he wakes up everyday. Tommy said that he didn't know anymore, so Moses suggested that Tommy should go on a long walk and try and find himself. After this, Tommy had a talk with Jay about Adam saying that he didn't trust Jay. The talk lasted for a while, and ultimately ended with Tommy telling Jay about Dean's bench, the ultimate sign of trust. After this conversation, Tommy went on a walk and sat at the top of the observatory, in the exact same spot that he had sat with Adam after he and Lana broke up.

The following day, not long after Tommy woke up, he saw a tweet about a demolition derby, so he and the rest of The Mandem decided to go. Towards the end of the event, Dean and Dwanye got into a fight, and Dean ended up hitting Dwayne's head into a wall, sending him to the hospital and into the ICU for a brief period of time. Dean then found Piper, Dwayne's girlfriend, and shot her. Dwayne woke up and her about this, and started to crawl towards her, causing Lana to call him 'pussy whipped'. Dwayne then shot her, however it didn't harm her that much and she was okay not long after.

They then had a meeting, where Dwayne apologised to Lana, saying that he didn't really know what was happening due to the drugs. They then spoke about the issues with MDM Records, with Tommy, SK and Lana saying that they wanted to be more involved in the company and that it needed to be fixed from the ground up. Dwayne didn't seem to take this to well, but he seemed to eventually agree with them.

Over the following days, Sparky, Lana and Patar try and help Dwayne with Mandem Records, but it leads to arguments and Dwayne not taking their help, still insisting that he can do what he wants, as he is the owner. Notable moments from these arguments include Dwayne and Lana shouting at each other and Lana walking out, and Dwayne telling Sparky that he owns him.

The next day, on September 19, 2022, Adam left the ICU. He was very distant from the gang, however he spoke to Jay. In this conversation he seemed very confused by Tommy's actions and seemed to not care about what happened next. The others spoke to P Money, as the previous day he had a long conversation with Dwayne about his problems with The Mandem and Mandem Records. From what was said, the others seemed to have lost faith in Dwayne.

After the conversation with P ended, Tommy spoke to Dwayne. He once again tried helping with Mandem Records, but was shut down every time by Dwayne. The conversation then switched to Dwayne's issues with the gang. Tommy eventually got it out of Dwayne that he gave the gun that Dean shot Piper with to Piper, with the intention of fucking Dean over. After hearing this, Tommy told Dwayne to get out of the car and put a gun to his head. He apologised for never taking Tommy seriously as a leader and said that it was his biggest regret, and that he wished that he never met Piper. They said that they loved each other, with Dwayne thinking that he was about to die. Tommy instead shot the air and drove away, leaving Dwayne on the top of Mount Chilliad. He then called him and told him that it would be too easy for him to die, and that he wanted him to live knowing what he had done and what he had lost and that he was not to ever come to the block again. He then removed him from the gang app, cementing his removal from the gang.

The next day, Hydra kidnapped Dwayne for Dean, as he had been trying to talk to him for a couple of days but Dwayne had been refusing. Dean told him that he was also an owner of Mandem Records from the start, and that lawyers would be contacting him soon. When they were leaving, Mario pushed Dwayne into the water. Dwayne started to swim away then dived down underwater, drowning himself. He then lost his memory of the last three days, so The Mandem had to re-explain the situation to him.

The next day, Dwayne regained his memory and decided that he would offer Tommy his shares of Mandem Records. Later that day, Adam and Dwayne had a conversation after Adam was told about what had happened by Sparky. Adam said that Dwayne was refusing to take accountability for his actions and that he no longer saw him as family, but still that he still loved him. After this, Adam called Tommy, but he didn't say anything and hung up a few seconds after calling him.

Almost three weeks after Tommy shot Adam, they finally spoke. Tommy admitted that he was wrong for shooting Adam, and said that he was at snapping point, so Adam hiding in his trunk pushed him over the edge and he saw red. He also said that he had heard some members complain about Adam not taking things seriously and told him that he wanted him to do better as a second in command, as he knew that he could. Adam said that he hadn't forgiven Tommy for shooting him, but that he still loved him and that he would try and move on for the sake of the rest of the gang. After the meeting, Adam put his Mandem vest back on for the first time since Tommy shot him.

Dean Leaves The Mandem & Falling out with the Angels
After many months of Dean causing issues of varying magnitude, Tommy heard that Dean had pulled rank on Winston and then shot him for disobeying him. After hearing the full context to the situation, Tommy brought Adam and Patar to a meeting with Dean. During the meeting, Dean did not back down and accept fault, instead deciding to double down, this caused Tommy to demote Dean to MDMA.

The next day, Dean booked a flight and left the city for a few days. During his time away, Dean contemplated leaving The Mandem entirely. However, he decided to stay and work towards getting his chain back.

On the 4th of November 2022, the two gangs had a meeting with each other where The Angels requested The Mandem to transfer them a spray because it’s in the back garden of the Casa de la Angel. The Mandem intended to transfer the spray they had placed, but instead The Mandem refused and the two gangs cut ties with each other.

On 3rd December, 2022, Dean came back to tell Patar he is officially leaving MDM (sadge).

Few weeks passed by, the tension between Angels and MDM, seemed to calm down, until Lang became the sole owner of Cerberus and the Mayor, and started his investigation on Gold Rush, demanding money that is owed to him. He had been asking Tommy but after being ignored he asked the Angels, who decided to take the side of Cerberus and not MDM. After learning that Liam had told Lang about the casino chip deal, they kidnapped him and checked his phone and interrogated him.

On 25 January, 2023, Dean had a chat with Tommy and handed him the real bench key, in good faith.

The Mandem Get a Gun Bench & a Meth Lab
On February 3, 2023, The Mandem competed in an event where the winner would receive a meth lab. Nine gangs participated in the event, with the final five being, MDM, Ballas, RUST, Seaside and the Hidden. During this event, Seaside & RUST were a team whilst MDM & Ballas were a team. In the penultimate challenge, MDM and Ballas arrived first at the location, took all of the product and decided to give one to the Hidden. This meant that RUST and Seaside had no product and were eliminated. They did not take this well, as they felt that they had been betrayed as MDM and Ballas had not chosen to give them any product. They got into a shootout with all of MDM and Ballas going down apart from Matt. Matt managed to get away, while the rest were ocean dumped.

Matt then completed the final challenge, wear he had to defuse a bomb in a meth lab. He cut the correct wire, which was yellow, as yellow had been a recurring colour throughout the event. The Hidden then had a chance to defuse a bomb in another meth lab, however they chose the wrong wire and the lab exploded.

The Mandem were then given the opportunity to steal the lab for themselves, and give the Ballas three and a half million dollars, or share the lab with the Ballas. They chose to share the lab, which was also the decision that the Ballas made. After this, a text was sent to each of the participants letting them know that The Mandem were the winners of the event. Mandem and Ballas both share the meth lab 50:50.

Following this event, Seaside went to war with Ballas, and R.U.S.T shot down kidnapped Matt and Patar and shot Patar which led to the RUST warring MDM. BSK involved themselves into the war against MDM, on 9th Feb, 2023 meaning that MDM was fighting 2 wars simultaneously. MDM retaliated and took a BSK spray up in Sandy. While the war went on, on 10th February, Denzel became MDMA.

Currently as of October 2023, MDM own a gun crafting bench, and a meth lab, making MDM one of the best connects in the city.

Second PD Wipe
Mandem wiped PD once again during the NA tsunami. The squad consisted of Cruizer, Tommy, James, Matt, Patar and Sparky. This was their second time wiping PD during a different storm. Cruizer, Tommy and James went down quite early in the fight, so mainly the duo of Matt and Patar wiped the PD with Sparky joining them later after being interrupted during his roulette game.

The Last Days?
The beginning of the end or the end of an old era? Something is in the horizon....and no one knows if it's good or bad.

Six Months in the Making + Patar fucked up
Patar woke up late NA to fulfill orders. He went from MDM block to the gun parts guy. He bought parts there, didn't see anyone follow him and went to the bench. He made guns and thermite and left. On his way back he spotted a person on a bike in a bush right at the tunnel entrance. The bike and an S14 start to follow Patar. He tries to lose them by going up the mountain but his car flips The key, 7 to 10 mil in mats and guns get yoinked. According to Patar one of the people was British and they said he will find out in a few days who it was.
