I'm curious what people mean when they use the phrase "going legit"? If you are talking about like what happened in buffalo, going into a food business, that's complete legit and no longer really organized crime. They have to compete like every other guy and the LCN really is no longer LCN. That kind of going "legit" is another word for people just leaving the life all together and admitting the mafia in chicago is dying.

Then you got guys like Nicky Jr that believe that white collar scams are a form of going "legit".

I guess a middling position is using the front businesses for more than money laundering, but relying on them as a source of revenue. But there is still some criminal revenue.

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here
