Of course its affected. There are millions of Americans interested in organized crime, and many of them, writers, bloggers, retired law enforcement, or otherwise, have an agenda of shaming those involved. Putting the names of people who are presumed innocent, meaning, they've never been convicted of a crime or even charged with a crime, despite who they're related to, out for public consumption is to basically hand them over to people looking to exploit and shame them. No citizen should be subjected to that by our government.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
