Sinatra with out a doubt they are kicking up .

I will not go into details but from top to bottom is kicking .

Put it this way if you are running a small book out of a bar or neighborhood and and associate or a made guy gets wind , you are done" or you are kicking.

And if you are done you still will pay a large amount just to keep your face on straight .

Now days it is most likely it would be a associate that would find out first and get the go ahead to tax you .

But but back in the 90's I seen skippers taxing small books .
