Counterfeit Syndicate

Overview

The Counterfeit Syndicate is a criminal organization involved in printing fake money in Vice City.

History

The syndicate is waiting for new printing plates delivered by courier. In Hit the Courier, Tommy Vercetti attacks the meeting point at Viceport, kills the gunwomen guarding it and the courier who arrives by helicopter, and takes the plates for his own Print Works.

If Tommy arrives too late, the courier escapes in a Sentinel toward Little Haiti and tries to reach a building where more of the syndicate's gunwomen are waiting.
