What kind of mafias are out to this day? And how strong are they?

Turnbull must definately know this

Main ones:

Japan - Yakuza, crazy ass guys with crazy tattoos all over the body. My father once when he visited Japan, he went for dinner with some friends to this very reasonable nice restaurant somewhere in Kobi, and as he walked outside he saw like a group of japanese guys all dressed in black suits walking out of a Hummer. See pic here.
Russia - Very ruthless
Italy - very family-central, romantic, passsionate and trustworthy.

I go for tha italy, Sicily.

What, only 3? No, it must be more. I know, this must be the most terrible three, but I believe every country has it's own little mafia, even Greenland. We'll wait for Turnbull and Floors.

of course every country has its lil mafia, even Paraguay has.. but the most powerful ones are those 3 I guess.

I heard that Chinese Triads are also on the rise.

Sicilian all the way! La Cosa Nostra is da' best.

the cartels the most rich,powerful,and ruthless
of all the todays mafia

read about escobar he makes john gotti look like
good guy of the year.

Escobar is already DEAD my friend. Even though, he was a true gangster and so commanded unbelievable amounts of drugs to American coke-heads and rest of the world. He was damn smart that he sent some of the drugs on little submarines controlled by remote controls.

Watch out for the Albanians
A very nasty bunch by all accounts...

The Turkish also have an extremely violent Mafia, they've had ties to The UK (my country) aswell

Britain also has lot of yardie gangs in "London and Nottingham" big into drugs and the gun crime has risen as well.

It's such an honour for me to be a part of such a great country

kebab laundering, lol

Damn...I read this by now....very impressing people here call my name in one breath with that from Turnbull! Haha....very great (But believe me, Turnbull knows a lot more about it, although he can have a good fight with me on Sicilian Mafia)

That's exactly what I thought of, writing your name! You seem to be quite an expert in everything related to Sicilian Mafia, and that's what interests me even more that American mob. You'd really do a great thing if you started some educating thread, Like DC did with his biographies, on Sicilian Mafia history and trivia.

Agreed, they all border jump into greece, but their own mafia?, doubt they have the brains... they are no greeks or italians, what have albanians ever done for the world

[/b][/quote]Well, I have written some articles/biographies the last weeks. If you know the game Omerta from barafranca.com you maybe know there's a Dutch Version of it barafranca.nl In this game there is a sort of paper called the Times (In Dutch it's called ATB)and I'm a crew member of it. Maybe when I have time I'll translate some of it....

No, I never heard about this game. I usually don't have much time to play them... But I shall wait for your issues!

hey man the calabrese r just as good,

and i heard about rising organized crime in NY of the Albanian and Romanian descent

Damn...I read this by now....very impressing people here call my name in one breath with that from Turnbull! Haha....very great (But believe me, Turnbull knows a lot more about it, although he can have a good fight with me on Sicilian Mafia) [/b][/quote]Not more than Sonny DiCosca. I'm an expert on the Sicilian Mafia. I know all the ranks backwards and forwards and I can speak the Sicilian Language unlike Turnbull. (I pmed him and tried to have a chat in Sicilian...) Conclusion: SERVED!

Turnbull is gentleman enough not to have to blow his own horn.

Conclusion: OWNED!

When It's Sicilian...I'm in the game...otherwise I retreat :p

BTW Look at the last 4 posts of this: http://www.gangsterbb.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=000861

Who's right on this part?

You got it right, MM. LCN (La Cosa Nostra) is an Americanized slang for the Mafia. They use it much the same way "goodfellas" is used ... it helps identify a made guy when talking amongst themselves. The U.S. law enforcement agencies had taken to using that "title" (LCN) back in the 50's.

In combination with:

MMF - Sonny : 1-0

BTW I hope he gets back on me...I really hope he knows a lot more about it then I do. This board is also a 'learning' board...so when he knows a lot more then I do, that's good, then I can ask him my questions.

A Sicilin Language? Hmmm, didn't know that there was a Sicilian Language. I always thought that it was the Italian Language with Sicilian Dialect! :p

Turnbull's a good man! A humble man, a very educated man and a very highly respected man on and off these boards ! PLEASE Don't ever forget that!
