The Albanians are operating in the Bronx and the Russians in Coney Island. Damn close to my neighborhood, too damn close.
The Albanians are doing a good job of assimilating here in the Bronx.
They're very shrewd, business minded people.
They have assimilated half of Europe also(and all of the Balkans) and they are operating many legal or illegal businesses.Most of the families that I know of,are legit and have big businesses around the globe.But the thing is,even if one person in the family is crooked,that person might lead the rest of the family members into life of crime.They are very similar with the Sicilians...they have many cousins and relatives that work around the world,legaly or illegaly,so its easy for them to expand their local operations further.
