Nobody can really say when the gangs split. These things happen all the time in the criminal underworld. All anyone can say with certainty is that the Red and Black Tape gangs maintain a core methodology for dealing with snitches, and for encouraging ransom payments.
Both maintain the tradition of leaving a roll of bondage tape, in their respective colour, either as a warning to individuals who are on a pathway to the wrong side of the gang, or as a calling card at the site of a kidnapping.
