I don't know that that many mob guys have the smarts, money, or business acumen that it takes to get licensed and operate dispensaries. (other than shylocking legit guys who become owners and then pushing in on them).

Legal casinos? We've seen them open in AC and other cities and the mob never got in except though ancillary services such as the bartenders union, garbage collection, linen, food supply, etc. In Las Vegas they were actually eradicated. So I doubt that's a viable option. Especially with the massive money it would take to even attempt such as coup as that.


How bout other types of businesses?
