I agree. They don't necessarily care who gets hurt in their scams, but I've been told numerous times the mob does not seek out gamblers or people seeking loans. Rather it's the opposite. And you could call the businessman involved in racketeering just as crooked.
I can tell yo many stories my grandfather told me that are more brutal. One mobster wanted a certain woman so he killed her husband just to have her and he was innocent. Another guy hand his hand chopped off because he refusd to pax street tax even though he wasnt involved in anything illegal
