The Kingpin

I arrived at New York and started surveillance on Fisk. I didn't attack right away as I wanted to collect more information about him and find out what deals he was currently making.

Sophie was a big help with surveillance and collecting information, but I discovered that the primary hideout he used for his less than legal ventures was secure and there weren't any cameras or mics in his main conference room.Where he conducted his meetings.

I rented an apartment in a complex close to his location and spied on him using astral projection.

( Inside the conference room)

I was currently spying on Fisk in my astral form. Which is cool as shit by the way.

I have been watching him having shady dealings with the irish, the latinos and various other gangs. I even saw a couple of police officers in there.

I found out he has enough liquid assets to control most of the higher ups in Hell's Kitchen precinct of the NYPD, he either bribes them and or threatens their loved ones, which takes competent enforcers.

You don't threaten police officers' families unless you know you can deliver, which means getting through serious police protection details, and possibly witness protection, which is run by the US Marshals.

He is a serious player legitimately and illegitimately in both politics and real estate, neither of which run cheap.

If you have an idea of the kind of donations mayors and other public servants ask for in their campaigns and you'll get a slight idea how much Fisk has.

He also owns a considerable amount of real estate in New York City, which he has dozens of them.

He also had enough monetary power and influence to be, well, Kingpin, to some of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the world, no exaggeration.

The Triads, Mafia, and the Yakuza are almost-incomprehensibly powerful international organizations who apparently consider Fisk their equals in their line of work, which is a serious compliment on their part.

I looked into some of the income the Mexican cartel kingpin has business with and takes in, and divided it by three (and by the end of the season it all goes to him) you can get an idea about his cash flow in that department.

Fisk does have some legitimate sources of income, most likely through the real estate market and a diversified stock portfolio, which is entirely possible how he got his start.

He basically took control of a local crime boss' drug rings and used the proceeds to begin to maneuver his way up the social, cultural, political, and criminal ladder.

He would either intimidate or bribe. Those where his primary weapons. He was also a master manipulator and really intelligent. I guess he really earns the name kingpin.

He created several companies to launder his money. Among them is a spice company, which he uses to cover up his nefarious escapades.

A lot of people knew what he was, but were either on his payroll, too weak or too dead to testify or expose him.

I have to say I heavily dislike the guy. He's too arrogant and full of his self and doesn't realise he is a frog in a well.

Money is a powerful tool, but it has to be utilized correctly to achieve its utmost potential.

He merely surrounds himself with people with guns. Which isn't that impressive in the Marvel Universe.

I was wary of making a move and decided to take a wait and see approach.
