This is some more speculation , but what with authorities in WV cracking down on Detroit based heroin traffickers , the time seems to be ripe for another group to gobble up a good chunk of the opiates market ...


The Pagan's could very well fulfill that role what with their history of having important drug ties , not to mention the fact that they could blend in a lot better in WV than the ( mainly Black ) pushers out of Detroit .

Naturally they might not at all be wanting to push opiates , but Richter seems to be quite the gangster type expansionist and if you add the fact of the Thug Riders patching over then I don't think this sort of speculation is completely baseless .
