That's because Hell's Angels is a 1970's outlaw motorcycle group of misfits, the "Mafia" is (I assume you're reffering to the Italians) is a virtually defunct organized crime group who haven't been relevant for 60 years, and Vor V Zakone is a prison group.
They're ALL different breeds from each other.

- tomatotomato37 7y agoI thought the mafia was still influential in Italy, albeit less as a criminal organization and more a system of business cartels?
