An addition to my comment above: The mafia would have died out by the 1990s in my opinion had Hollywood not glamourized it. By the 1990s, between the witness protection program, RICO laws and advanced surveillance the government had the mob beat. But the mafia keeps filling their ranks....because Goodfellas and the Sopranos makes it look so fun!!!
Detroit,
Goodfellas maybe though Henry Hill is not someone most people would want to aspire to be like. I have to disagree about the Sopranos.The Sopranos was an advertisement for all thats wrong with that life and the black hearts that participate in it. You guys remember the uproar over the show by some italians feeling they were being unfairly portrayed
