Forty-one members of a violent, highly organized Brooklyn street gang have been busted for murder, conspiracy, robbery and a host of other crimes, prosecutors said today.
"They formed alliances with other gangs and used social media to brag about their crimes," a rep for Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes said.
"Leaders would collect money from their members at weekly meetings to fund their illegal operations, housing, bail and the commissary at Rikers Island."
The gang ran its operation out of Bushwick.
The District Attorney's office will release more details at a news conference later today.
