By all outward appearances, Dima Ivanov was living the american dream. He had immigrated from Belarus in his early twenties and had quickly established himself as a local small business owner. As time went by, he had either bought or opened more businesses across Dade County. He owned Night Clubs downtown, diners, laundromats, and a bunch others. Mostly dealing in cash.
His rise to prominence so soon after landing in Miami raised a lot of eyebrows and drew suspicion from community leaders and the police, but nothing was ever found to prove the suspicion.
As time went on and he diversified his interests more and more, most of the businesses he owned rarely if ever saw him. So even if anyone approached his employees to try to dig up dirt, there was nothing to find.
That was his outward appearance.
In the shadows, all of their worst fears and more were true. His businesses laundered the money that he gained from running drugs and girls all across the county.
Dima's family back home was involved in organized crime, so all of this just came naturally to him. It also gave him the foreign connections needed to make the best of the tourist trap that was Miami.
Life was good.
