Gang FAQs

How Do Gangsters Get Their Nicknames?

Considering the nicknames that some famous gangsters have been given makes us wonder how they get these uniquely disturbing names. There are several ways a mobster earns his nickname.

It could be a representation of his appearance, past experiences, personal traits, where he comes from, or the corruption of his real name.

Many times gangsters don’t even know where their name originated from. Once a Montreal gangster was asked why he called another gangster by his nickname.

He replied saying that that’s how he was introduced to me, without having any idea how the nickname came to be.

What are the Most Famous Gangs?

There are several gangs that are very famous around the world.

Tambovskaya-Malyshevkaya from Russia.
The 14K triad from China.
MS-13 – an American gang that came from Los Angeles.
Primeiro Comando da Capital – a gang from Brazil.
The Crips – an alliance of gangs in America.
The Bloods – an American “anti-Crip” gang alliance.
Public Enemy Number 1 (PENI Death Squad() from California, America.
Ndrangheta – an Italian gang.

Which Gang is Stronger, Bloods or Crips?

It all began in the 1970s when the Crips gang bought together different street gangs to form a federation, rising in power and control. However, several small gangs in Los Angeles refused to join, eventually forming their own gang for mutual protection. They called themselves the Bloods.

On the West Coast, the Crips easily outnumber the Bloods by 5:1, but on the East Coast, the Bloods are more powerful among other African-American gangs.

In general, the Bloods are known for being more violent, while the Crips are more organized and have better networks.

If we judge both the gangs based on the number of their members, the Crip gang has been around longer and has amassed a large number of members and followers. Since the Bloods have always been outnumbered by the Crips, they became more violent than their competition to assert greater power and control.

Who is the Baddest Gangster of All Time?

History is witness to many badass gangsters, but we think out of all the bad guys, probably the worst one (or best one, depending on your view) is Al Capone.

Not only is Al Capone the most notorious gangster of all time, but he is also one of the richest! At the time of prohibition, he controlled gambling rackets, illegal alcohol, and prostitution in Chicago.

His illegal business brought in a whopping $100 million a year at its prime – that allowed him to bribe police, judges, and even the Mayor of Chicago!

However, his power and money fell short when the IRS convicted him in 1932 for tax evasion, and he was sent to prison for 11 years.

So, it just goes to show; always pay your taxes. (And tax avoidance is okay, just not tax evasion!)
