Another Gang Bites the Dust


Another "Chinatown Gang" was busted on Thursday night/Friday morning. 39 alleged members of the Yi Ging Organization were indicted with 21 members currently held according to officials. The indictments should "effectively" dismantle the gang which allegedly operated out of Chinatown and Flushing, specializing in extortion rings, gambling parlors, DVD/CD pirating operations and money laundering. This bust comes after a three-year federal investigation that has already broken up two other gangs and arrested 51 people.
