For most of the organized crime, gambling Industry and sex Industry, as well as dealing with debts, illicit drug dealing, are the most important economic activities for them. However, after the announcement of “Regulation of Urban-renewal in Taipei Area”, the benefit behind that regulation has cast their greedy eyes.
