Hong Kong Bad Boys
One of the worst gangs in Hong Kong, Maybe even the worst in the game is the Triads. The triads are one of Chinese biggest under ground societies. The triads are based in Taiwan, hong kong, Singapore, Macau, Malaysia, and Mainland China. They are also big in western cities with major Chinese populations, such as New York and Los Angeles. Their activities include car theft, contract killing, drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering, gambling, prostitution, and other forms of racketeering. A major source of the triad's income today comes from the counterfeiting of copyrighted and trademarked goods such as clothing, coin counterfeiting, computer software, counterfeit money, handbags, music, CDs, watches and movie. They also trade endangered animals, fake tobacco and alcohol products. Police are trying to cut down on this gang situation. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) is the division of the police chiefly responsible for triad countermeasures. The OCTB and Criminal Intelligence Bureau work hand in hand with the Narcotics Bureau and Commercial Crime Bureau to process data and information collected by their operation units, to fight the triad heads. Other departments such as the Customs and Excise Department, Immigration Department and ICAC have also joined forces with the local police to impede expansion of triads and other organized gangs.
