I guess I'm old I was born in 73 and although I was young I do remember not "mafia"but a time when a criminal could make a lot of money in things other then drugs.It seems drugs are all thats really left.
Big corporations own everything now.Theres no way a person could own a casino now.The fucking bakery used to be owned by a baker now who the fuck owns duncan doughnuts. You can't extort corporations or even loan them
money.
It would be easy to make those guys more glamorous then criminals today but they are all the same
