3 They popped 50 Kings and only collected $200,000. That’s 4k each - walking around money. What a farce

4 Would a gang have bank accounts that could be discovered, Gloluns Turkeyneck4904?

7 25,000 Kings in Chicago alone. I doubt taking down 50 scattered across 13 cities made any kind of a dent. More likely thinned the ranks of under achievers.

Re money. Task force expense accounts (not counting salary, per diem, overhead) undoubtedly blew through more than 200k per week. The Kings have been around long enough to launder their revenue stream efficiently but every hood likes to carry a roll. The take by the feds seems k8nda low to me.

Interesting that the Feebs thought it was safe to arrest the K8ngs no repercussions and of course likely most of them walk. In the same 3 month period the gendarmerie failed to perp walk any significant number of Blue state embezlers and swindlers who are state or federal employees despite “revelations” on a daily basis.

It frankly looks like a poor return on the investment of time and talent to me.
