And for perspective:
The idiot grandchild and namesake of John Gotti got caught dealing Oxy in the adjacent thread was making $100k a month.
The Feds pulled $30k from 39 arrested.
That's less than a thousand dollars on average for everyone arrested.

So John Gotti Jnr, not mob affiliated, financially, was worth in illegal proceeds OVER A HUNDRED TIMES MORE than each of these 'Mafia Goons'!

Now, tell me this wasn't personal. Or that it was federal resources well spent.
