Vasile Popescu grew up in a small village in the east of Romania, Europe.

When I was 7 years old I fled from my homeland with my family due to civil wars and a strong economic crisis. Among them my brother and my mother. My father died when I was already 3 years old because he was involved in an assassination attempt on a powerful and extreme right-wing politician in Romania. This assignment was given by his then secret organisation, of which he was a member.

My life in America was a rollercoaster from then on. I wasn't very good at school because of my weakness in English and didn't have much fun - much more likely I had enemies. Be it the teacher who said that I would never amount to anything because I was a stupid Romanian, or my American classmates who always pretended to know everything better. 

I dropped out of school at 18.

And yes, what do people do who come from Romania, who want to make big money and have no qualifications?
Cracking cars, selling car parts, breaking into houses and stealing tyres.

When I was 19 years old, I became more and more popular in my district, people knew who I was and felt rather feared. With the women it went better and better, they saw the money in my eyes and they started to flirt with me. 

But I wanted more and more, I wanted to make life easier for my family and my little brother, who was only 11 when I was 19. My mother should not work anymore, my little brother should grow up in good conditions and not be the outsider like me.

Today, arrived in Los Santos, I am ready to take another step. I want to become richer and people should fear me!

The boy from Romania with poor school qualifications no longer exists, from now on I am my own boss and everyone should hear this!
I will now run my own business in Los Santos!
