I read somewhere that he was from the Russian Mafia as are so many of the problem immigrants from Russia. I heard they were far more violent and corrupt than the Cosa Nostra.

I think there is a sinister story to be told so we probably will not hear too much more

The Russian Mafia is very bad indeed. For a great (horrible) movie about the Mob, see "Once Upon a Time in America." This was back at the turn of the last century when the mob was Italian and Jewish with a number of Irish runners and enforcers. But even though the capo was busy rubbing out his enemies, the overall feeling you get is of total anarchy.
