One of the funny little quirks of the original trilogy was that EVERYONE had a name. So ravenous was the fandom that they memorized every little detail of every character in every scene no matter how inconsequential any combination of the above may have been.

So you know that single head tailed weirdo that always hung around Jabba The Hutt like some kind of lackey? Yeah apparently his name is Bib Fortuna. And he was one of the few members of Jabba's entourage that survived that embarrassing slaughterhouse of a first act battle with Luke and friends. As such, like any self respecting lackey of a crime lord, he immediately set about taking over his operation.

How good he was at running this operation we will never know, because in the same scene where we learn what he's been up to, Boba immediately comes in, kills him, and takes over his entire operation like a boss.
