Alot of these guys own legit business and spend alot of time supervising them. They may not b super hand on but they do oversee them
...and it only takes a couple of low key earners as such to make up the core of a fairly effective outfit.
Thats always been something Ive found interesting, the guys willing to actually put in the physical man hours. Say what one will about Staino, the reason he went so long without any real trouble was because he seems so legit on paper. He was at work every day. Still, they got 'im now.
Its easy to forget that (nonwithstanding of course the unfair advantage they have over competition with the unspoken threat of violence inherent as a "mobbed up" operation) that alot of those powerhouse earners where actually pretty business minded and driven.
Actually dedicated businessmen in one sense, just with that nagging ethics problem (problem being they have no ethics)
