If you read the indictment the dude was running a business that lost money just for the IRS. He also had a new BMW and he even said he "liked to spend money". 250k a year for a soldier is big time. When that one acting boss flipped recently forget which one he guessed the average soldier made 50-60k a year so Joe Electric was actually doing very well.
what was sad was seeing that Carl guy, almost 80 years old pushing major weight. Will die in the can after just getting out. What was shocking was seeing how garbage the pressed 30s were. And then getting totally fake crystal. But then they eventually linked up right with the cartel and was getting literally Breaking Bad level meth.
If the average soldier is making $50K-$60K, its no wonder the thing is allegedly on its last legs in the US. Risking long prison sentences for the same salary as an entry level sales job is beyond crazy.
Al the big mafia movie are focused in the 1960s to 1970s era when the mob was more powerful and there was more opportunity to make money,now is different and anyway in oc groups there are members that made tons of $$$ and members that are broke. Not all made men are able to run a white collar racket but are street thugs that sell dope on the streets or break legs to the people that dont pay the vig. The philly family in it some aspects is more like a little bit organizated street gang then a crime family.
