Even at their peak, the NY mob's ties to prostitution were peripheral, at best. And today? That's a Russian and Asian racket. And no, they're not bringing envelopes or kicking up to some goombah out in Massapequa or North Jersey.

The topless joints and the porn theatres on the old West Side are a different story. The mob's history there is as old as syphilis. But that's also a bygone way of life. Between Disney owning most of Times Square, and free Internet porn, they're basically out of that business today too.
