The contact does not know who hired the Wrecking Crew, but thinks that it is the powerful smuggler and pirate crews operating around the Indian and Southeast Asian coast, the so called Fujikawa Black Rings. Even though most of the pirates and smugglers of this group are Asian, the leaders are thought to be European, probably French or Prussian.   As for weapons and explosives, many of the various gangs in town have been supplied with firearms of late, not the Japanese or Asian gangs, just the local blokes. Ronin’s contact is pretty sure that one of the more powerful criminal organizations in town is behind this weapon distribution, whispered about down by the docks, someone calling themselves ‘the Kingpin’ or some such silly European name. It seems this bloke already controls most the various local gangs in London, but is now expanding into the non-European gangs. Most of the gangs are now very worried, and some have already started going to this Kingpin independently and offering up their loyalty.  There are a number of rumors surrounding the Queen’s Birthday, but these contacts don’t know or care much about the old ‘trollop’, but they have been warned to stay away from the Hyde Park area…</blockquote>
