"So, if you dig deep enough into the financials of the companies, it turns out that they're actually shell accounts for one of the major crime syndicates in DC.

They're not buying up property around the restaurant, no one's approached the Ali's to sell, there's no hint of anything useful with the mineral or water rights. If I had to guess, I'd say that Jessup is probably right. The boys made a couple of friends they shouldn't have, and now one family's taking a chance to swing at another."
