Geocache Description:




Special Agent this is your task:


Three crime families have joined forces to create a vast underworld syndicate. They are led by the notorious Geno "John" Amato. The supply and demand for illegal goods and services is undermining public morals, neutralizing law enforcement through corruption, and infiltrating the legal economy. Local law enforcement has been unable to reduce the threat. Appropriate countermeasures must be taken! **Coords for the GC4GMVQ Anthony "Tony 2-step" Amato (Amato Family Boss) maybe hidden in this cache. Always look and take notes**
