@ baldo: the reason there is minimal transference by the mob from blu collar gambling and loan to white collar (stock fraud etc) is simply because the mob is composed of blue collar guys.

Operating a juice book and manipulating a stock price are two very very different things. It's not a case whereby the admin of a family can just 'decide' to move into white collar crimes. The intellect and skill base isn't there. If it was, they wouldn't be in the mob in the first place.

They'd be robbing/stealing and fucking people over from Goldman Sachs. Legally.
