The Gang of Four was an American political cabal comprised of the NSA, CIA, FBI, and DEA, formed at some unspecified time in the mid-20th century. During its existence, the Gang of Four amassed boundless political and military influence, operating in an extrajudicial manner and with no congressional oversight.
It was largely responsible for the collapse of the original United States, causing a crescendo of political, social and economic instability due to its dubious involvement in both local and foreign affairs.
Cyberpunk indeed.
From the Cyberpunk TTRPG:

“Cyberpunk was a warning, not an aspiration.”
– Mike Pondsmith, creator of Cyberpunk

We didn’t need their help with that last paragraph, that one is non credible.
