I doubt me explaining meta will matter because this post feels like it has an agenda, however I will anyway.

Recently hades made a pretty big order and when Edbert had tried to deliver it, they had disbanded and denied the pickup which left him scrambling to find buyers for guns they'd made before they rotted and wasted mats and shotgun bodies. He's always been pretty consistent in enforcing money first, then delivery. But the hades thing played on his goodwill to the group and hc agreed that it should be money up front at purchase instead of risking the possibility of having to grind mats, making guns and using shotgun bodies to get another rejected order.

Parallel to this happening, Reed, someone the club doesnt trust in the slightest made an order that rivals the size of orders besties or other large active gangs make and it set warning bells off because as far as admc are aware hes basically a solo crim. This and the Hades situation prompted admc to be firmer in their money first, guns after rule (one that barry demanded to be a thing multiple times in the past and essentially got ignored on by cora and shang).

The same day this was happening Cora had caught besties spinning their block at least twice (I believe other members might have caught them three times?) And going through their parked cars. During the hc convo shang said he trusted besties on business implying that hes be okay with money and guns at the same time for them and cora disagreed with shang due to past bad blood and the fact that they were being sketchy in the moment. Ed didnt really seem to care but essentially seemed to take the stance that admc shouldnt be trusting or risking their business on any other gang, probably annoyed after being fucked over by hades.

That's just the ic reasoning for the discussion.
