That has to be the biggest misconception about Mobsters PB. Yeah some have pulled the trigger, but it's definitely not a prerequisite. Making money and kicking up it's probably one of the most important thing.

Yeah, and in the 25 percent of the wiseguys who take part in a murder (if it's even that high a percentage), it's only a very small percentage who actually pull the trigger.

A guy may be a lookout, or a driver, or even just take part in the planning. And because he's culpable in the eyes of the law, they consider that enough.


Well to be fair to the poster, he did say...or be involved in a murder.

They attribute 19 murders to Sammy Gravano, yet he only pulled the trigger on the first one.

The rest he was either there to supervise, or just involved in the set ups.
