Wasn't it in the movie New Jack City, some part where the mafia tried to muscle in and nino brown took care of them? That is a good question, I am sure there had to be some areas of the mob that supplied or had their hands in getting some profit off it....liked to hear what some people who know more about this have to say, because that was/is a huge money maker for many during that time period when they took over huge projects and controlled everything
