I just finished Takedown Fall of the Last Mafia Empire and I loved it....finished it in 3 days (about 10x faster than usual) - literally couldnt put it down. The property-rights extortion the Genoveses and Gambinos were running on private garbage pick-ups was indeed an empire that had been a huge-cash cow for decades, one which they had hoped to pass down for generations.

Very informative as far as this particular racket -


"Paid my taxes."
