This is a perfect example of how you have no idea what you're talking about. You stumbled across the figure of $200 billion in some book for the Chinese when you were doing one of your Google searches and you use that as your basis to make comparisons. LOL! And I already told you that if you read the book
Octupus: The Long Reach of the International Sicilian Mafia, it quotes $250 billion for the Italian groups. But I don't quote this because my arguments and the extense of my knowledge doesn't depend on some cherrypicked figure I came across. How many members of Russian organized crime are there Johnny? And how many countries do they operate in? You're talking out of your ass.
now you're claiming n'drangheta can equal half of the entire mexican cartels which controls the entire united states drug trade except for heroin which i think they control only half of. you show no reason to think otherwise. you go off talking about discos and construction and supermarkets as if the mexicans have not bought entire companies and industries in mexico. your problem is that you think the italians are special. you think they have something nobody else does. when in actuality, they are just another organized crime group. at best, the 4th strongest in the world after the chinese, russian and albanian criminals.
You fucking hypocrite. It's you who thinks the Albanians are special. It's you who builds Albanians up to mythical proportions. Ask anyone here. I don't think the Italians are special. I think you don't have enough knowledge on any of these groups to be making comparisons. You are an ametuer. A punk 17 year old coming on this board and acting like he has a clue in the world.
