It has for over 100 years

There will always be gamlbling, loan sharking and drugs and other black market.
LCN was origiannly created to be a Gov't in the lack of an actual Gov't

That was taken here to America when 1MM+ Sicialins came to America within a couple of years

That will never happen again.

The other thing about LCN back in th eary days in American Italians were treated very poorly and they had very few oppotrtunities to get up out of the poor Italian ghetto neighborhoods that existing during the great depression.

So really smart guys had very few choices and took the LCN route as they believed that was the only way out of poverty.

So you had the guys that could have been doctors, lawyers etc. joining LCN

Now for Italian americans there are so many ways out that joining LCN is not that attractive anymore.

Except in cases when fathers are passing down wealth and rackets to their sons.

Or something similar

Still might not be worth it because the sons will likey get pinched and go to jail

ohh i got it thanks a lot !
