You can add the Balkan criminal enterprises, especially the Albanians. Increasingly, Asian criminal enterprises are not directly related to the traditional Triads. The Yakuza has relatively little presence in the U.S. Of course "Russian" criminal enterprises is often an umbrella term to refer to all Eurasian groups, i.e. both Russian and Eastern European. There's also Nigerian and Middle Eastern criminal enterprises.
You'll notice I'm using the term "criminal enterprises," as opposed to "organized crime." Even though these terms can often be used interchangeably, the FBI also differentiates between them a lot; especially when comparing La Cosa Nostra to the newer ethnic groups.
And let's not forget all the Mexican and South American drug groups. Colombians, Mexicans, Dominicans, Cubans, etc. They're often categorized differently, because they're usually involved only in drugs for the most part, but there's no denying they are also organized crime.
I should also add that even some black and Hispanic street gangs have become sophisticated enough, at times, to warrant the label "organized crime" or "criminal enterprise." It's why the Justice Department combined it's OC and Gang unit a while back.

Yakuza ,triads ,russian oc ,polish oc, irish oc, greek oc Polish OC? I don't think they are really all that powerful. At least not in the US. In Europe there were the Pruszkow and Wolomin crime groups at the beginning of the 90s. Nowadays Polish OC is far from noticable. Out of the crime groups you mentioned the Greeks in my opinion are the sneakiest of them all. You rarely hear something about them, but anywhere where a Greek immigrant neighborhood is located there's gambling- and drug-based (mainly meth, but also cocaine) organized crime.

I read online that there is polish oc in greenpoint, Brooklyn. They are called greenpoint crew. I agree with you aboit about the greeka. Does anyone here know about greek oc? I read there was in nyc and philly but I'm not sure it it's true.

Also many recent cases such as the black guerilla family in baltimore and also if you remembered jimmy rosemonds drug case where he was being supplied by members of the bloods and crips in LA which shows that there is some form of structure perhaps a loose one that arranges for large-scale drug trafficking and dealing across the country. Along side that many of the street gangs are engaging in sex trafficking and fraud.

I would also say in Southern California, The Armenians and maybe even Russians to a lesser extent are the dominant white crime group operating out there. The Italians really have no presence out there. If anybody could answer the question, Where are the Italian mobs crews outside of the hot spots like NY, NJ, Philly, Chicago, Miami, but is there anywhere else?

.Russians definatley seem to have a major prescence in miami. if i remember correctly, somewhat recently the fbi labeled the russians as more of a priority/more entrenched in miami/south florida than lcn. while brighton beach has generally always been considered the epicenter of russian OC in the US, it seems like south florida, if it hasn't already, will overtake that spot soon enough.

That's true. In 2011, the Russian mob was said to be a bigger investigative priority than the LCN for the FBI in South Florida. That same year, Eurasian and Asian organized crime were reported to be a bigger investigative priority than the LCN for the feds in Las Vegas.

you're about 30 years late on that one
The fact that you and Ivy don't agree on the current state of the Chicago Outfit doesn't allow you to childishly attempt to argue every time he says something.
If you have to turn every thread into some boxing ring...stick to the Outift's ones: no one really cares about those anyway...
And no...30 years ago African-American and Hispanic street gangs were not yet labelled as such. Even if few (really, really few) could have. are you his bodyguard or lawyer? you sound like a hillbilly that thinks OC has color barriers

Last time I visited Miami I heard almost as much Russian being spoke as Spanish. I know it is also the capital for credit card cloning, etc., white-collar scams which Russian OC seems to specialize in.

Jewish OC still going in USA ?
That pretty much ended by the 40s/50s Not fully. Quite some Russian gangsters in the USA are in fact Jewish. That's because it were mostly Soviet Jews who were allowed to emigrate to the States. However, nowadays there're also ethnic Russian gangsters in the US. In general, the ethnic Russians mostly concentrate on white collar crime such as fraud and scams. The Soviet Jews also are involved in some scamming, but generally they are far more visible and violent being involved in drug and weapon trafficking, burglary, robbery & hijacking and even street crime. From Israel there are also mainly North African Jewish and Georgian Jewish criminal clans in California. In the USA they are more likely to be involved in the trafficking of ecstasy, but in general they are also involved in all aspects of violent crime.
