World on Drugs with Steve Furey11 Maj 2021

The Bamboo Union & how Taiwans biggest gang went from street criminals to government agents

From war lords, to drug kingpins, Cartels, criminals, gangs, serial killers, and ever day psychos, World on Drugs with Steve Furey deep dives into subjects and people other wont. We analyze it through the lens of comedy, to try and see how and why these people/event went down the wrong road. So come join me, Steve Furey and my funny friends to learn about some of the people who stay in the shadows.

This week we got my guy Jason Cheny (Fox, World series of Comedy Champion & Recess Recess Podcast) in studio to talk about the Bamboo Union! The biggest gang in Taiwan, The United Bamboo Gang AKA The Bamboo Union. Currently, they have 10,000 members active across the globe and are considered one of the most dangerous gangs in the world. At their height in the 70s and 80s you’ll learn how they had nearly 100,000 members and were personal assassins for the Taiwanese government. They manufactured heroin, they sold heroin and using their connections to our government, were able to infiltrated the United states. Make sure you listen to the entire pod to find out the fucked up ways they punish their own members for breaking the rules.
