I Was An Enforcer For The Chinese Mafia | Minutes With

[@LADbible]

Thank you to Richard for taking part in this episode. You can follow him on Instagram here @richardduongmdk

[@46.56.A.]

Oh damn, I know this guy. See him around East London. Always with a smile on his face and joking around with people. A good guy.

[@richardb22]

Sure, he had a smile on his face. You forgot to say, "unless you were a Chinese restaurant owner ". Great he has stopped the nasty life and seems now to have a moral compass. So that's a positive .

[@nicholasharris4306]

I love how they've had to pop subtitles on for a British accent 😂 I can see how it could be tough for those not used to it, but it's still funny to see.

[@BeeDotEee]

Geezer talks fast tho innit?

[@marcokeyter346]

Yeah it's the British accent... Not the Chinese accent mixed with a English accent and how fast he speaks

[@irenafreidin2932]

​@@BeeDotEeeYeah I'm English and I was struggling to keep up. 😅 I even tried putting it on 0.75 speed. 😂😂

[@simojovic6358]

Talks way ttoo fast

[@BeeDotEee]

Make the most of your life now Richard. I'm glad you found peace. Legend.

[@aubreysharp7397]

I wish this guy would talk more about the Triads in Leicester Square Chinatown Central London, always heard about them during the 1990s when i was at the arcades down there on the weekends.

[@RichhPxterjugg]

Trocodiro

[@handemhan]

If anything there were more triads around into the late 2000s when the Trocadero had turned a bit crappy

[@PlanRedemption]

They got battered by local white gangs

[@irh1738]

Yep remember that in the 90s and 00s. Loads of stories about Triads in central Leicester SQ

[@geoffygeoff9391]

I wish he would talk a little slower. It was a bit too fast for me to take it all in.

[@IanRossDavies]

First time I've ever turned playback speed DOWN... 😅😂

Thanks for sharing! All the best to you on your path out of the dark.

[@RogersAB]

I’m from Newcastle and my neighbours are Asian. They even own their own Chinese Takeaway. Proper nice people to be honest. The Dad/Husband looks like he could defo beat people up, however he’s super pleasant to talk to. Makes me wonder now…

[@pabzta]

Richard is the real deal.

[@benm7453]

Proper interesting video and for those skeptical (ignorant) ppl... every british chinese family's parents or uncles or aunties will have stories about the triads in the old days in some way in London, Manchester, Leeds etc. Running restaurants, bars, protection rackets, lion dancing etc...

[@degol5692]

Lion dancing into a gang fight.

[@peterjones5720]

Thanks for sharing your story Richard, powerful message to the youth that a life of crime is paved with misery and darkness. Good luck for the future, and your spiritual journey.

[@ianbrisland1982]

A great video, hats of to Richard, I hope you have found peace :)

[@bennib5]

i notice that with tough people. they don't want to fight but they had too

Great story i find it dreadful they extort their own community like people that own restaurants when it's hard enough for them. Like many other organisations do to there own community who are poor or suffer enough.

[@Evie3331]

If it were not for the subtitles, I'd be lost. The thick English, with the Asian speed is...WOW fast lmao

[@hellonihaocomoestas]

being asian in the western was tough growing up. and if you were a confident standup guy, everyone on the block will constantly undermine you. Mob mentality

[@headmondronary2127]

Triads are everywhere. Seen a bunch of them arming up in a carpark in Christchurch New Zealand back in the mid 2000s. Talked about but no-one knew anything about them. Saw them in action taking over pokie parlours when the jackpot was due to go off. They had a money man who dished out the cash to pump into all the machines and 20 or so soldiers who played the machines. 2 big muscle who stood over us until we got the hint and left. They won the jackpot 5 mins later and left. Probably rolled 20 or 30 pokie pubs that night. 110% underground in nz. Only pop up when a hit goes wrong. One thing for sure is all the gangs like the infamous mongrel mob or black poweror Aussie biker gangs are run by the triads. All the meth is run through Tonga because the Chinese checkmated tonga and now own the port to the point where its chinese sovereignty so Chinese officials at the port. Very patient, very polite, very cunning, very respectful

[@ScaroMK]

early 2000s yes, but they're very low profile nowadays and a dying breed

I like how Richard described the triads as a "Government thing". Who better to compare the 2 things than a litteral triad enforcer. Dont see many MPs comparing parliament to triad tho.
