Re: Massive Armenian OC $100 million Medicare fraud bust
How many organized groups are in the Armenian Mafia or how many Armenian organized groups are??? Also, is the American-Armenian organized crime groups the same as their counter parts in their home country or are they just extensions???

Don't put too much stock in the title "Armenian Mafia." The press loves to attach that to any criminal enterprise. These Eurasian groups are not a single, monolithic organization. They are loosely organized and come together to commit specific crimes and than disband. They typically do not have the type of hierarchy the Mafia does. Some of these groups do have ties to their homeland but, by and large, they are your typical "diaspora" criminals.RDRIGN wrote:How many organized groups are in the Armenian Mafia or how many Armenian organized groups are???
