The NYPD and FBI have arrested many members of the most powerful Chinese gang in the city. The feds and police raided the members in Elmhurst and Bayside, Queens, Sunset Park in Brooklyn and in Chinatown in Manhattan. However, being in a gang member that would intimidate restaurants, gambling parlors, and people in their homes didn't mean that the high life was being lived: Many members were found in a flophouse. Other offenses they were charged with include murder, racketeering, alien smuggling, extortion, extortionate debt collection, money laundering, and trafficking in counterfeit goods.
What's most interesting about the group is that they decided not to give their gang a name in order to "and fly under the radar." Gothamist wonders how a member would know what gang he is in. Other Chinese gang names have been things like Ghost Shadows, Flying Dragons and White Tigers, which sound like upcoming Chinese magical realism martial arts films.

Where the gangs have no names,
Still building and burning them down...
they're not a gang, it's obvious they belong to an avant art collective. no, really though, these people must be small-time if they weren't found living in Westchester, NY or Saddle River, NJ. can't Chinese gansters live in a non-Chinese neighborhood like Park Slope or the Upper East Side?
What's the point of being a gangster--going to all that trouble to break kneecaps and shit--if you can't live the high life?
Its the LIFE of a gangster that they cherish. Power, respect amongst your fellow peers and your community (Sorta). Not to mention breaking kneecaps and busting heads keep you on top and can be quite enjoyable.
Wow, you guys need an editor. I can't believe how many grammatical errors go unnoticed.
You must be posting your columns while looking over your shoulder to see if you're boss is walking up behind you.
