Post by: Parker on September 05, 2010, 11:16:21 PM
Odd, Muscle Mafia is not one of them...

And ironic how, many of these guys, unless they are in prison are skinny twinkish dudes---doesn't take any muscle to pull a trigga, my N***

Askmen.com has named the Russian mafia as the leading criminal organization in the world followed by the Yamaguchi-gumi syndicate, the biggest of Japan's Yakuza crime clans.

Ian Brandes of the Daily Record points out that the Russian mafia is involved in everything from stolen art to nuclear technology and that they often "leave rivals riddled with bullets in the streets of Moscow."

Moscow's Solntsevskaya Bratva, known as the Brotherhood, have just been named the worst criminal gang in the world in a major survey.

And the planet's most famous mobsters, the "Five Families" of the New YorkMafia, barely scrape into the top 10, Brandes points out.

Up-and-coming mobster Syergyej Mihajlov 'Mikhas' and a fellow gangster, Viktor Averin formed the organization in the mid-80s. They choose to ignore the codes and guidelines of the traditional thieves in law and based themselves on a more Western style, with Mikhas preferring to call himself a 'businessman' rather than a vor. However, strict discipline was still enforced and thieves in law were not excluded from the groups activities.

Eventually, gangs under the control of the syndicate controlled virtually the entire south-west of the city. The organization also merged with the influential Orekhovskaya gang, led by thief-in-law Syergyej Timofeyev. The union was partly a result of fear of warfare with Chechen mafia groups and other "southerners".

In 1989-1990, the arrests of several gang leaders including Mikhaylov crippled the organization. Several high ranking gangsters tried to form their own separate crews but ended up being murdered, including Alexander Bezuvkin (killed 1990), Dima Sharapov, Valera Merin, "Edik the Fridge", Uzbek Lenya and Abramov "Dispatcher" (all killed in 1993). In 1994 a meeting of mafia bosses was held in Vienna, shortly after which Timofeyev was murdered when a bomb in his car went off near the house of the then Russian prime minister. Timofeyev's heir to the leadership of Orekhovskaya, Igor "Max" Maksimov, was killed in February of 1995. However despite all the killings, by 1996 the bratva not only regained their strength lost in the early 90's but had actually become one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Russia. Mikhaylov used Timofeyev's death as an opportunity to take control of businesses previously owned by the Orekhovskaya organization. By the end of 1995, it was estimated the Solntsevskaya group controlled about 120 legitimate firms and businesses in the Moscow, Crimea and Samara regions. They also bought many businesses abroad.

In 1993, the members of the organization met with another powerful crime boss, Semion Mogilevich, to trade in art and antiques stolen from churches and museums in Central and Eastern Europe.

In 1996 Mikhaylov was arrested in Switzerland on a variety of charges. However as he sat in prison awaiting trail and the prosecutors were building their case, a number of key witnesses turned up dead and due to the lack of evidence provided by Russian authorities, a conviction was not possible. He remains free and the boss of the organization today.

In 1997 and 1998, the presence of Mikhailov, Semion Mogilevich and others associated with the Russian Mafia behind a public company, YBM Magnex International Inc., trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, was exposed by Canadian journalists. On May 13, 1998 dozens of agents for the FBI and several other U.S. government agencies raided YBM's headquarters in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Shares in the public company, which had been valued at $1 billion on the TSE, became worthless overnight. Years later, (in 2003), Mogilevich and YBM associates, but not Mikhailov, would be placed on the FBI's "Most Wanted" List in connection with the scheme.

As of 1998, the Solntsevskaya gang contains around 5,000 members.

The Brotherhood maintains relationships with many legitimate businesses, offering these groups 'protection' the gang also assist the businesses when it comes to not-so-legal matters.

A 2003 report for the US Library of Congress revealed that the organization had a presence in Mexico and was working with local drug cartels as well as being involved in money laundering, prostitution, credit card fraud, human trafficking, arms deals and other illegal activity.

Anyone who threatens the Brotherhood's business tends to end up dead.

Former FBI agent Bob Levinson says the Russian Mafia are "the most dangerous people on earth".

No 2 in the gangland top 10 are the Yamaguchi-gumi syndicate, based in the city of Kobe and run by mastermind Shinobu Tsusaka.

The 40,000- strong Yamaguchi-gumi are among the world's wealthiest gangsters, bringing in billions of dollars a year from extortion, gambling, the sex industry, guns, drugs, and real estate and construction kickback schemes. They are also involved in stock market manipulation and Internet pornography.

Third place in the poll goes to an Italian Mafia gang - but not the Sicilian Cosa Nostra or the Camorra of Naples.

The little-known "'Ndrangheta", based in the southern district of Calabria, have ties to Colombian drug barons.

Some believe they are responsible for 80 per cent of Europe's cocaine trade.

While other Mafia gangs have been crippled by informers, the 'Ndrangheta have kept their vows of silence because the mob is built on close family ties.

Most gangs only care about cash. But the fourth mob on the list, India's D Company, have sinister ties to Islamic terror, according to Brandes. Boss of bosses Dawood Ibrahim masterminded a wave of bombings that killed 257 people in Mumbai in 1993.

Top 10 criminal organizations according to the study were as follows:

1 Solntsevskaya Bratva

2 Yamaguchi-gumi

3 'Ndrangheta

4 D Company

5 14K

6 Sicilian Mafia

7 Dai Huen Jai

8 Tijuana Cartel

9 United Bamboo

10 The US Mafia 'The Five Families'

I try not bringing up race very often since being released from Time Out, but I do feel the need to point out that the "Russian" Mafia is actually Jewish:



Yet me pointing that out is "anti-Semitic".  Yes, yes, of course.  Pointing out that the Jewish dominated "Russian" mafia is actually Jewish means I hate Jews.  Facts are anti-Semitic!  ::)  Oh, but FALSELY calling this Jewish mafia "Russian" is not racist against Russians or anything.  No, no, LYING about the ethnic makeup of this organization and accusing Russians of crimes they did not commit is perfectly alright!

 Are you russian or live in Russia? Jews are not mafia bosses. In most cases the organised crime groups or several ones are controlled by thief in law. Solntzcevskaya bratva is not controlled by thieves, though some thieves do patronize the Solntzcevkaya organised crime group.
 Mogilevich is vastly overrated, basically speaking

Yes, but the Jewish component discussed in the video above cannot be denied, and it is not a small one.

I think this guys was Jewish not sure. There are bad people of every nationality.

Yes that much is true.  I know it's customary to think of White straight men as not being allowed to be offended and in fact the only reason why I find these things offensive is because of that notion.  If White men were allowed to be offended I probably wouldn't care.  But I feel the need to point out that I am offended for the purpose of showing people that it is just as wrong to discriminate against White people as it is to discriminate against any other race.  By being vocal I know for certain I have dissuaded some people from participating in anti-White racism.  In comments' sections of online news articles for example, I point out every bit of anti-White racism that I see.  I will not have my children grow up in a world where people think it's excusable to discriminate against them based on race.

Sure, we can discuss racism - I just feel it is appropriate to address it in all its forms [and I apologize for the off-topic spiel].

 Mogilevich may have been or is one of the leaders of Solnzcevskaya organized crime group but he ain't no influential in russian criminal world. For the most part it's thieves in law that control the things i.e. criminal activity.
 There are Oligarches but would it have been correct to call them mafia? I don't think so. You may be an Oligarch but I never heard of an Oligarch who's been crowned a thief in law.

The Russians are number 1. They control banks, oil/ gas / mineral mining, weapons, have no real hierarchy or structure, are ruthless and don't snitch. You think it's an accident half of the Russian Billionaires that are now coming out of the woodwork have all done jail time?

The reason why the 5 families are a joke these days is because the FBI has been beating them over the head for the past 30 years. They are the stuff of the past and have become a pop culture reference rather than a force in the underworld.

The Columbians aren't really a mob imo, just like the Mexican Cartels aren't really a mob and the opium war lords in Afghanistan aren't really a mob. All of these are closer to paramilitary organizations that have a monopoly over the natural resources required to synthesize the most popular and addictive drugs in the world-- Cocaine+ Heroin. They are pretty much above and beyond the reach of law enforcement and conduct full scale wars against the governments in their respective countries.

The Yakuza is pretty much the closest thing to the Russians imo- These guys back Japanese corporations that are in competition with one another. Could you imagine having AT&T or Pfizer backed by an army of trained killers and criminals?

When you have an extremely corrupt Oligarchy working hand in hand with organized crime and creating partnerships with banks and energy suppliers while maintaining stranglehold over natural resources, you get to pick the winners and losers of industry by killing off the competition and putting whoever you want in place.

You have Russian mafia in the states? It’s a discovery for me. Never heard of American nor Italian mafia operating in Russia unless their operatings so small so it shouldn't even be mentioned. I dont know what the FBI agents call Russian mafia but I heard of Russian organized crime groups that fool american system and make money off of it.

 Yeah those people may mix up together but nor an Oligarch nor a corrupt official is not going to have been crowned thief in law. One can buy a crown Thief in law for the very big money but chances that the thieves in law underworld will uncrown you are very very high. It just equals if you'd throw up a couple of million buck on wind. Those who bought the crown are called - apelsinik. Thats how they uncrown those who bought the crown.

Range Rover? Armoured boutique? I have official boutiques for all world class brands - porsche, bmw, toyota etc in my city and it's far from Moscow.

I read something in a graphic noel, called American Century (based on a American-Jewish WWII soldiers post war escapades in Latin America and the US-sex,  dictators, porn, double crossing, all true)

It goes something like this, "If you have to parade around your power, then aren't really that powerful", or something like that...a play on the walk softly and carry a big stic-philosophy...Basically be wary of those who are quiet---that's the mofo who will slit your throat and sell your entrails as sausage the next morning...

Anyone ever see the movie taken. Does a pretty good job at portraying the Albanian mafia and the sex trade crimes they're involved in. Pretty good movie.

it was an amusing movie but not very realistic. he was a sort of james bond who could trace the girls fairly easy and everything worked out good for him.

Not all that good, his daughter was taken...plus, his "training", is how he could trace her. He was no James Bond, James Bond of old is a campy dude, Jason Bourne is more realistic

No details here, but I was the Best Man in two of the family weddings mentioned above.

And on a couple of other occasions we were invited to spend some time in NYC by a good friend without the least bit of knowledge about his 'connections' or 'importance'.

That turned out to be one hell of a memoriable week in the Big Apple.

Putin - Did you sign in that agreement? Did you Oleg Vadimich sign? I don't see your signature. Come to me, come. Return my my fountain-pen...
 The Oligarch had been forced in Putin's presence to put a signature in an unconforatble agreement for him.
