Artificial intelligence has revealed what the most powerful gang in the US is, and the criminal fraternity isn’t even made up of Americans.
Every single state in the land of opportunity has at least one gang operating, engaging in a mix of drugs, racketeering and murder. This includes infamous far-reaching crime-linked names like the Bloods and Crips dominating in multiple zones.
Then there are states like Arkansas, Indiana and Massachusetts who have Hoover’s Folk Nation, Sons Of Silence, and, Lennox Street Boys, respectively. But when it comes to finding out the most dangerous of the lot, a number of factors have to be considered.

However, while Gemini’s AI bot argued that there’s no definitive answer, as the power dynamics within the criminal underworld are constantly evolving, it did offer up one organisation as the top dogs.
It said: “Based on historical data, size, and the scope of their operations, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) is often considered one of the most powerful and dangerous gangs in the US.
“It has a significant presence in Central America, the US, and other countries, and is involved in a wide range of criminal activities including drug trafficking, extortion, and violence.”

Known for its brutality and extensive reach, MS-13 is a transnational gang with significant operations in the United States.
The bot also noted on the home grown notable gangs that have significant influence including the Bloods and Crips, who have a long history in Los Angeles and have spread to other parts of the country.
It also made reference to the Mexican Mafia (La Eme), a prison gang with a powerful influence both inside and outside of correctional facilities, and various cartels.
Adding: “The specific power dynamics between these groups can vary depending on the region and time period.

“It’s important to note that the power and influence of gangs can fluctuate due to law enforcement efforts, internal conflicts, and other factors.
“It’s also important to note that these are just a few examples, and there are many other powerful gangs operating in the United States. The specific “most powerful” gang can vary depending on the criteria used and the time period considered.”
