Of course the #1 rule isn't "don't do it", but rather, "don"t get caught". None of the traditional Mob rackets produce as much pure profit as narcotics, and these guys are not going to pass up the gold mine.


I know what you say but given that in this days a mobster risk to get 20 y for few grams of dope there would be made men that was so tought to risk but no more because especially the young wiseguys prefer the old ways to made $$$ (loansharking,bookmaking ecc) that risk so much.
But there are some made men that had spent half of their life in prison for selling drugs (a gambino guy but don't remember the name).

So again there are no wiseguy that today are selling high quantity of drugs?
