Biggest gang in London

With Tommy and Patsy Adams in jail and Terry Adams said to be retired are the Hunt gang, the most powerful gang in London rather than (as per present version of entry) the second most powerful?89.101.133.50 (talk) 12:57, 3 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

David Hunt has 25-30 million assets in his companies. His brother is said to have umpteen pubs in Essex area. As both men are in and around 60 maybe the focus is more on legitimate work now ? The police no doubt have the same evidential issues they have had for years but there must be a lot of attention on the Hunts post the libel trial. Perhaps they think as multi-millionaires there is no need to ride their luck ? The Adamses have a plethora of nephews, cousins etc who continue to pursue traditional family interests. They arguably were less succesful at having companies like the Hunts that could at least partially explain their income. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.44.148 (talk) 07:56, 24 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
