It's too late now, though. In New York, anyway. The Asians, Russians and other Eastern Europeans have that racket sewn up. And they're not afraid of the traditional Italian-American mob. Not at all. Because most of that stuff is centered in the outer boroughs, where they now outnumber the Italians.

The Italian Americans left in that world have the right idea. Traditional book and shy, coupled with a legit place of business to wash their money. It's working. Jumping into running hookers and enslaving underage girls would be suicide for them. Because at the end of the day, the Feds would STILL rather prosecute them than any other criminal demographic.

And again, I'm just talking about New York. I don't know (or care lol) what goes on in Boston or Chicago.
