WNBC reports that 16 people with ties to "Asian organized crime were arrested overnight by a task force of FBI, NYPD, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigators for allegedly extorting bus companies." Fifteen of the suspects were arrested in the NYC area, while the 16th was in Florida, and they are charged with "various acts of violence and extortion targeting operators of bus companies which do business between New York and east coast cities." More details will be released later, but we are guessing this is related to the Chinatown bus routes--back in 2003, one bus operator was murdered.

The Chinatown Bus is ultra sketchy... they should be put out of business.
I blame John Liu.
edEx: If you've ever ridden them, they're no more or less disgusting that Greyhound. Organized crime, shmorganized crime: if I were worried about that I'd stop watching professional sports, electing people to congress, and buying cannoli on Mulberry.
way to ruin a good thing.
at least they're not terrorists.
This could be the setting for "Dead or Alive 4: Showdown on the Greyhound"
Also I have an option on that title so no one try to steal it!
Meanwhile, the real asian gangsters are busily infiltrating Harvard and Princeton and learning to play the violin.
Besides the 'Racist' re-zoning of Chinatown, they now use these Racist measures against Chinese gangsters.
Keep your Racist hands off Chinese gangsters!
Just take the Bolt, the Chinatown bus scares the bejesus out of me.
Both the Megabus and Bolt suck depending on whos driving, and they pretty much hire the same dumbass drivers as the Chinatown bus operators.
What are you people talking about? Luckystar and FungWah are awesome! They are way cleaner than most of the buses I have been on...albeit, I have heard horror stories of them breaking down and getting in accidents.
15 m'f'in dollars! Remember when Greyhound was $50 to Boston?! I
I heart the Chinatown Buses.
With boltbus and megabus, there's no point in using the CTown buses anymore. Seriously, where Fung Wah leaves from may be the hardest point to get to in Manhattan.
babyhitler-the Asian gangs were thriving all along-too bad they got busted before they could mete out some street justice on the thugs around Columbia University
my ex gf lives in ctown, and from what she's told me, apparently one of these gangs had a bus driver's head decapitated in the 90's. sick.
damn John Woo films
