History
"I went from taking copies of from my dentist's office to having a crib and an office bigger than anything could ever dream of."

- Piranha Jones

Piranha Jones had founded his own company with Mariah Dillard supporting him by giving him clients and downtown connections. For the support, Jones would supply Dillard with "real money", and his information about offshore banking and stocks so she could do it herself. Jones succeeded in giving Dillard the information, and this would fuel the Stokes Crime Family with success.

Jones possessed the insider information about the Atreus Plastics which designed the paper-thin OLED monitor that could be used the US military. Also, Jones learned that nobody knows about the Atreus' unregistered patient, except the Glenn Industries that intended to merge Atreus. Jones contacted Dillard and offered her to purchase the Atreus' stocks before they jump, and convince Mark Higgins to accept the merge with Glenn Industries.

Dillard decided to give Jones power of attorney over all of her funds, including Harlem's Paradise, so Jones could approve the purchase without any suspicions. As Dillard blackmailed Higgins, he approved the merging and both Dillard and Jones were provided with the impressive revenue.

In the wake of the successful deal between Atreus Plastics and Glenn Industries, Jones organized a big party and even hired Luke Cage as his own celebrity. However, Jones was attacked by the Stylers, and despite Cage's efforts to rescue him, Jones ended up in the Stylers' capture. Bushmaster forced Jones to give him access to Dillard's bank accounts and financial assets, and then he executed Jones.
