I seriously doubt that you know about every bookmaking bust in the country or even the NY/NJ area. There are probably dozens or hundreds busted each year that are never reported in the news. I've known several bookies who got busted and it never made the news. There are hundreds of independent bookies who never get busted because nobody is looking for them. When I was in college, all the Asians went to Asian bookies, the Indians went to Indian bookies etc. These other ethnic groups have no use for some goombahs who will end up stiffing them or shaking them down.
I don't just use news outlets to keep track of them. I also use the federal and local prosecutor's websites. If there's a bust, it will be reported somewhere.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
