Paragon Times Articles

On August 18, the Paragon Times published the first installment of a two part-part series of articles concerning polvo, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), and the Ravencroft crime syndicate. The introduction to the first installment of the series read:

For the better part of a decade, a San Nicolas Bay Area drug ring sold tons of angel-dust to the wealthy and elite of Paragon and funneled millions in drug profits to a European crime syndicate under the aid and protection by the U.S. National Intelligence Bureau, a Paragon Times investigation has found.

This drug network opened an everygrowing pipeline between Ravencroft's cartels and the high class neighborhoods of Paragon, a city known as the "dust" capital of the world. The polvo that flooded in helped spark a dust explosion in elite America...and provided the cash and connections needed for crime families to buy automic weapons.

The two-day series of articles, entitled "Dark Alliance: The Story Behind the Dust Explosion," told the story of a Paragon drug operation run by James Woodrow, described sympathetically as "a disillusioned 19-year old...who, at the dawn of the 1980s, found himself adrift on the streets of Northeast Paragon." The Dark Alliance series recounted how Woodrow began peddling small quantities of polvo in the early 1980s and rapidly grew into one of the largest drug dealers in Southern Iona until he was convicted of federal drug trafficking charges in March 1994. The series claimed that Woodrow's rise in the drug world was made possible by Marcus Antony Ravencroft an individual with ties to the Fuerza Templaris Internacional (FTI), one group comprising the European mafiosos. Ravencroft reportedly sold tons of polvo to Woodrow, who in turn converted it to angel-dust and sold it in the upper echelons of Northeast Paragon. Ravencroft was said to have used their drug trafficking profits to help fund guerilla armies around the world.
