Here's the thing David, Dimitri Ovtcharov can't get his hands on the high quality, famed and coveted H3 Blue Sponge National rubbers. However, contrary to reason, there are tons of forum members who seem to sell the mythical rubber that even the top pros can't get their hands on. Then there are the people who sell the pro versions of Tenergy or Ma Long's personal blade. 300£ (read $465.00 USD) wouldn't be too much to ask for such a rarity.
Sometimes members pay for and buy and the mysterious seller disappears once he has the cash. They often ask you to use the PayPal pay friend option where you pay a fee and could never hope to get reimbursed.
So, when someone is seen using a Pro or National rubber or blade that nobody is supposed to be able to get, unless they know the secret handshake, the goon squad comes after them.
Usually the goon squad can't really distinguish between a real H3 National and a commercial H3 that had the heck boosted out of it. So if you have something they think may be a Pro or National version of a rubber or blade, they will hunt you down and try to flex their muscles.
So, Der_Echte has all these gadgets--like his NSA SpyPhone that he lent me for a while before he set me up with the handy dandy Abacus I am now using--for tracking and trapping those guys.
Anyway, the goon squad is usually bad news but, once you know about them, it's pretty easy to give them the slip.
Or, the way we often trap them in the septic tank of the secret hideout. Oh, by the way, it's not worth trying to figure out the location of the secret hideout. We have it set up so that the entrance keeps changing. Last week there were rumors that it was in London where we brought Dan Ives in for a knock and a hang. Then, the week before, some say it was in Germany helping Ovtcharov get some special forces training. But, often its just in Brooklyn at a location I'm not allowed to disclose for obvious reasons.
That all has to do with an underground network of tunnels that allows us to move throughout the world almost instantly.
This is how we keep ahead of the goon squad. It also allows us to trap those goons in one city and release them in a totally different part of the world, at least, after they've had a stay in the sceptic tank with the London sewer rats.
Hopefully that explains enough of what you need to know about the goon squad.
For any more details, you'd need to watch this video very closely.
