A 1972 report by the Montreal Crime Commission names one Willie Obront as the head of the syndicate in the area and
describes the relationship between Obront and Mitchell BronfÂman as "almost a brotherly relationship." (25) \This relationship extends into illegal activities in which they have mutually or jointly indulged ...the special kinds of favors they did for each other and the resulting advantages of each in the fields of loan sharking, gambling, illegal betting, securities, tax evasion and corÂruption. (26)
You are blowing things out of proportion. Mitchell Bronfman considered to be the black sheep of the family,did have some dealings with Willie Obront, he was I think the nephew of the elder but it does not make the whole family criminals. The Bronfman empire was runed by the sons and not Mitchell Bronfman.The elder did make money during prohibition but so did others like Joseph Kennedy.
The Bronfman family run a legit business, they also donated a lot to the Montreal community, McGill university and others.
