Description
"Alright, look, so the internet is a huge and terrible place that I still don't understand, but the bottom line is: we got some trolls out there banding together to fuck with the stock prices. I've seen some creepy-ass nasty stuff on they message boards, and they got the whole fuckin' army out there dumping and pumping their shit wherever they like. They've been riggin' prices all over the market, cashin' out, and fuckin' everybody else in the process... including a bunch of our clients."

Franklin Clinton described them as internet.

They are young people of various races, usually dressed in a somewhat-hipster style. Some of them may be seen smoking. If approached, they may speak, including in Spanish

There are at least eight of them and they can be found engaging in troll-like behaviour, including:
 * stalking a female NPC at Vespucci Beach, taking Mobile Phone photos of her while she is doing Yoga
 * stalking a female NPC at the University of San Andreas, Los Santos running track, taking telephoto pictures as she trains
 * with an IFruit laptop in the trunk of their car

"And right now, they targeting a stock pick that we all should be worried about. It's a tall ask, but man, I need you to get rid of as many of the ringleaders of these basement-dwelling crooks as soon as you can, before they crash the fuckin' stock. And look, if you do right, a lot of very rich people goin' be very grateful to us, and we goin' get paid."

- Franklin's payphone description

Franklin facilitates their assassination by the player on behalf of other investors.

The number of trolls to kill will depend on the number of players (CEO associates and MC Club members) undertaking the hit. One player will encounter the same first four Trolls, 2 players will have six Trolls and three players will have eight Trolls.

They can be found in three different groups of locations, one set within Los Santos city limits, the other two sets are all outside the city, one set entirely in Blaine County, and the other set with some in Los Santos County too.
