The Gang of Soul does particularly well because it gloms onto something called the Vlora Salvation Committee.
voice-verified
And if any sort of like group in the 90s is calling themselves something salvation,
voice-verified
It ain't good.
voice-verified
Now, you've got to forgive me at this point because I'm getting a lot of in this information from like the internet equivalent of Albanian tattered library books.

voice-verified

voice-verified
It seems that Sochi's boys are at the top outfit in Flora by nineteen ninety nine, when the madness of the pyramid schemes has died down.
voice-verified
But by this point, Albania's organized criminal underworld has cemented in place, and it is able to spread its wings across Europe and the United States by attaching itself to expact communities that have fled world.
voice-verified
Everything that's happened in the homeland since the turn of the century.
