CEWL Grinders United, formerly known as CEO Friendly Trustd, is a friendly GTA Online crew. With Rockstar's changes in how GTA Online operates by allowing businesses to be run in private sessions, we’ve become more of a grinding crew. However, our vision and our DNA in being a friendly crew has not changed. We aim to provide people with a professionally delivered experience and service which is expressed in our rule set and reflected by the amazing community we have built. We aim to deliver a friendly environment where people are able to make new friends and play Grand Theft Auto Online together, whether that’s role playing in a session, helping to deliver each others product, performing heists or completing career progress, there’s something for everyone here and you can tailor your experience in our crew to suit your needs. 

There are other grinding crews available, and each one has their own way of operating. Some operate similarly to CEWL and it’s more down to how discipline is handled and subtle differences in rules and priorities that separate us. Others operate fundamentally differently in that they don’t generally host crew only sessions, but rather do sales in public lobbies and embrace the PvP aspect of the game. CEWLs focus is on giving our users a relaxed, griefer free experience whilst promoting teamwork and developing friendships that not only exist in GTA Online, but also spreads to other games.

CEWL was founded in 2017 following the collapse of Friendly Sessions (COOL) and was one of two major crews to form from that collapse, alongside the now defunct MCCEO TEAM (TEAM). CEWL’s leadership has been with the crew since the early days of the crew’s existence, Dange616 the current leader was a founding member and one of the very first moderators of the crew. CEWL has survived multiple attempts to cause its demise, and we developed tools to safeguard our crew and our sessions.

We believe our biggest attraction to our crew is that it isn’t just a crew, it’s a community. We have members in our crew who continue to partake in discussions in our discord server despite not playing GTA Online anymore. We have loyal members who have since grown tired of GTA 5 due to its age, yet remain with our crew awaiting GTA 6. This means that when GTA 6 drops, you can be assured of a high level of activity, and we will very quickly learn the best methods to make money on GTA 6 Online.

Our leadership and moderator team is experienced and strong and generally very aware of threats and this ensures that CEWL will continue to exist long beyond GTA 5’s end of life and well into and beyond GTA 6’s life cycle. So if you are looking for a well run crew that is under no threat of folding and boasts a strong community feel, CEWL is for you.

We are a diverse crew and we respect each other here in CEWL. Your age, gender, sexuality, religious beliefs, disabilities, the colour of your skin, none of it matters here, you are welcome in our community. We respect each other, and we deal with anyone who may wish to cause harm to a group quickly and swiftly as we do not tolerate any form of discrimination within this crew. Whilst we know the game is for 18+, we are also aware that under 18s play this game and we do not exclude them from our crew either. We do ask, if you are under 18 you let leadership know so we are aware as we would need to ensure nothing untoward comes your way, and if you are under 13, due to discords terms of service, we cannot allow you to join our server. However, if you would still like to join our crew, you are able to reach out to matttombstone who will ensure dispensation is in place so that you are not removed from our crew for not being in our server, and we would expect you to join our server once you are 13.
