the prison gang leader


why does a black prison gang leader figure so big in what was apparently a drug dealing plot with international connections to russia? I don't get it.. why not a russian mobster in prison?

because the black american mob uses to sell the drug the russian mob sends to usa. Is it really that hard to believe?

If you were going to distribute drugs in Chicago, would you use a Black gang or a Russian gang to sell at the local level? Likewise, if you were going to distribute drugs in Moscow, would you use Russians or African-Americans?
