Im sorry but the Crips and the Bloods arent anywhere near the level of organizaion of the societies i mentioned. (nor do they makes as much money) The organizations i mentioned arent secret because of who they are (after all we all know of the existence of any above named societies), they are secret as far as there modus operandi and as far as the influence that each one exerts.
Some of the different "criminal organizations" as you call em have more poer than several nations combined. As a matter of fact the denomination "criminal organization" is given to many of them simply for being the competition of the status quo (national governments). An example of this is the Drug Trade (definitely a lucrative business), National Governments fight the so called "War on Drugs", only to ensure their own monopoly over the drug trade. Opus Dei is not much different, they primarily serve the goals of the of certain religious denominations, and these in turn trade in souls (yet another lucrative business)
