All Independent Businesses on the map can be easily taken over with Drive By's, bought out with Warm Relations or sometimes put out of business by Raiding them. Drive By's are by far the quickest ways.

Warehouses however can only be taken over if you first buy something from them, thus giving you Warm Relations and then getting Heat over 5 Stars so that an Investigation starts - then click on Investigation and you will have the option to Hand over the Warehouse with Warm Relations to the Police, this will reset Heat to 0 and turn the Warehouse into a Premises you can buy.


To Get a Crime Lord to Warm Relations, first give them an appeasement gift if they are at Cold Relations, then do a Wet works Job. Send just one gangster on the mission and make sure to Fail the job so the Gangster gets arrested. This will open up a new special Job in the Jobs Panel where you have to break that gangster out of Prison. Do this job and this will increase the Crime Lord Rating to Warm.

Then Get police Heat over 5 Stars so that it starts and investigation, Click on investigation and you will see the Option to hand over the Crime Lord to the Police, this will reset heat to 0 and turn the Crime Lord into a Joint you can buy.

Make sure to buy the weapon from the Crime Lord first if its one you're interested in.

Ponzi Scam is not worth it, it takes way too long to generate money and then you can only use it once, and it lowers your liked rating considerably each time you use it, which lowers many other Joints and Business income.

These entries include every joint, premise, construction and Residential building in a district.

To work out how much money these districts could realistically make in a year, I took the Residential property Income, $80 and based on the average apartment rent of the time being around $150 dollars a year - I will consider Atlantic city Apartments to rent out at $80 every 6 months or $160 a year.

So the values here are to be considered to be collected every 6 months.

Al Capone, New York City 1920 (population 9 million) reported to make $85 million a year
(9 dollars per a person)

Boss DiAngelo, Atlantic City 1920 (population 66,000) reported to make $1,409,084 a year
(21 dollars per a person)

Adjusted for Inflation for the year 2025 that is about $22,531,182 a year


By this metric alone, and the fact that Di Angelo retires to his own private island and evades prison time we can safely say he was the better gangster.
