Armenians are really powerful in the States as of what I know. They got the street gangs and the top are very intelligent business thinking people. Plus most Armenians usually know as well Russian and got connections with Russian criminal figures.

@dsbaloo Not every high ranking Russian criminal figure is a Thief in Law. To become a thief in law, you must do time in an ex-ussr prison where you get crowned as one.

I've heard that in New York there is an Uzbek neighborhood, probably also they have some criminal gang or at least have connections to the Russian ones.
