I recently saw a documentary about the Albanian group of gangsters that operated in NYC from 1993-2005 AND I was absolutely amazed that this group of guys had the balls to do what they did and got away with it with no retaliation.

#1 They walked into an underground high stakes gambling operation that was operated by one of the 5 families and said, everyone out, we are taking over and this is our operation now!
AND
#2 When Arnold "Zeke" Squiterri, the acting boss of Gambino's, set up a meeting with Rudaj.Zeke told them, "You had your fun and to stop taking over territory"..... Zeke supposedly had 20 shooters standing by and Rudaj had only 6. When things got hecktik, one of Rudaj's shooters said he was gonna blow up the gas station they were meeting at and amazingly, Zeke backed off.

These two incidents baffle me as to why there was never any retribution.
Is anyone more familiar with what actually transpired?
