Paperchaser

It's written as one word because it is an actual money "gang" (outfit; crew) in N.Y.C., tattoos and hustle styles for decades. It's from Manhattan, Washington Heights, a.k.a., cocaine capital of the Northeast, and has spread across the world in work ethic, as go-getters and "anything sells, nothing won't" attitude. An original Paperchaser will no longer be able to speak upon the actions of the past money making moves since everything is done in silence and for the sole means of STACKING MONEY UP.
May the Paperchasers be remembered as the real logistical hustlers of Washington Heights, N.Y.C., U.S.A..

"Remember, if money ain't the subject then why are you talking?" 2018
The old school Paperchaser crew was around the 160s in Manhattan, during 2005, and have spread to the entire world.
