The thing is these people are limited. They can only work with what's around them.
They have no skills, no mind for business, no licenses for business, no contacts out of the country, they only have the people around them to try and scam.

The guys that are making real money are ones that can do things between here and other countries, they have things coming and going overseas. They have contacts in those countries. They can travel to another country, take care of things and come back. They have licenses up the ass: construction, freight broker, real estate, you name it, they have it. And if they can't get the license in their name, they know who to go thru. On paper, and on the surface everything will be legit. This is the mafia.
