RICO, technology and the snitch culture makes it nearly impossible for a criminal organization to operate long enough to become a force to be reckoned with.



Lol what?? You realize there was just a massive construction kickback scheme that funneled hundreds of thousands to mobsters just last week lol outside of bookmaking and loansharking construction is probably the biggest money maker for them still and they're rooted deeply in the industry. Business extortions are still a popular racket too.
