I've heard a lot about the korean mafia lately- what is the deal with these guys- is there really organized crime in fairfax? lol!

"When police and federal agents burst in, they found several women hunched over industrial sewing machines, cranking out counterfeit designer clothing, working off the debt they owed for passage to America.

The astonishing discovery came during a two-year investigation into a Korean organized crime ring based in Annandale that trafficked in untaxed cigarettes. Undercover officers and agents started off making $5 million in sales of contraband cigarettes. That led to the crime ring's money laundering and numerous financial schemes. There was even a murder-for-hire plot."

Uhh- maybe there is?

Many people doubt the existence of Mafia or other groups like the mafia. That's exactly how those groups want you to think. Doubt they are real, doubt they exist. Then they can continue with their drug dealing and other activities all while they live next door to you.

You sound like a guy I knew who didn't think there were any drugs at Lake Braddock. THat his daughter had no way of being exposed to drugs or drug use. His comment was "It's a 'drig-free zone'" Yeah, go on and believe that. It's about as true as the idea that the mafia and others don't exist.

BTW, there is no MS13 around here. It's only in other places.

I don't personally know any Korean mafia, but with their huge presence in the county, I'm sure there is some OC element. The Vietnamese had and probably still have little sets of wiseguys who are into the various scams and little shortcut moneymakers out there.Most of the things they're into aren't a huge threat to the uninvolved the way the drivebys, carjackings and home invasions by the other groups are (though there are Asian home invasions, I think its more of rogue operators instead of a cohesive group element)

Gambling? While the Asians really seem to dig, I think most police officers have laid a bet somewhere.

Whores? It's ugly when brute force and drugs are involved, but often a consensual offense.

Cheating Cig Taxes? Hmmm, can't some of the new administrations cabinet kind of tax cheats also?

I look at it this way- if the MS13 could only emulate our Asian neighbors, the county would surely be a better place.

wait- thats it?

while you are at home at night, some dirty things happen in annandale to this day. believe that.

Korean Gangpae? What you think all them karaoke bars are all about? Why so few nail salons in Koreatown but other parts of county you can spit and hit them?
