If there's any made guy who earned good money through just bookmaking and legitimate business and never killed anyone, I would like to be him. The only mark on your soul being that you were part of an organization that did much worse things. But the worst thing you did was was take money from gamblers and maybe rough a few people up, not killing them.

"...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
