The mob no longer committing murders tells me that there's a lot of corrupt cops working with the mob. The whole point of an organized crime group needing muscle is that you can't go to the police if a group encroaches on your territory. The only other thing that could stop an enemy from moving in on your turf...is going to the police.


"...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
