Hilarious these fake gangsters acting like this!" "All out warfare, eye for eye. You threatened MVPs co-founder [Bidarian] who has been a partner to you and your team every step of the way? "He’s put your best friend on over and over again. Stupid. Then your team wants to swing on us…so you got served a three piece and a biscuit. Punk.
