Nayfeld was dubbed an "organizer, enforcer and narcotics distributor" for the Russian mafia in a 1997 U.S. Customs intelligence report. | Nayfeld first came to the U.S. from Belarus in the late 1970s with a wave of Jewish emigres from the former Soviet Union who said they were fleeing religious persecution. Nayfeld wasn't religious, he got into crime as soon as he arrived. Nayfeld, also known as Biba, has been convicted of fraud, tobacco smuggling and shipping heroin stashed in TVs. He has threatened to kill rivals and escaped one attempt on his life when a bomb placed under his car failed to detonate. He was at the scene when feared Russian godfather Evsei Agron was assassinated. After Agron was killed, Nayfeld served as a bodyguard and chauffer for the next don of the Russian mob, Marat Balagula.
Nayfeld has no regrets. "Never. No. When I'm born again, I do it the same," he said. |  |
