Payday loans, home equity. Most people are finding themselves in debt that way, as opposed to having to go on the run for owing the mob money. Although I've heard of a few people on the run for owing drug dealers money. I've figured most of the mob must be in legitimate business now. Wonder how many inroads them mob made into Wall Street. My union is pretty progressive, but there's still a few guys around that look like they might have a couple of "friends" back east.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
