Initially, it payed protection to the [[Leone Family]] but stopped paying its protection money and began paying to the [[Triads]]. After a Triad ambush, [[Toni Cipriani]] sends [[Claude]] to destroy their laundry vans. This forced them to begin paying the Leones again. Toni, sensing a trap, does not trust the launderette and sends Claude to pick up the money to be cautious. Behind the launderette, Claude picks up the payment, but is ambushed by Triad goons. After killing the Triads and escaping this skirmish, the Leones and the Triads go to war. It is unclear whether or not they began paying the Leones after the Triads lose the war and [[Salvatore Leone]]'s subsequent death. The launderette had a fleet of [[Mr. Wongs|laundry vans]] seen during the mission "[[Taking Out the Laundry]]" but other than that the launderette only has one van parked behind their business. | ||
