To be clear i do not say it is an "easy way or without punishment". But if a criminal group disappear. The criminal market still exist. Maybe they shrink but they still exist. So it's normal that others guy's try to take over. For me logical that some associate or low level guys try it. If they had succes they get money with money they get new chance to earn more money. With more money they get connection...... I mean USA isn't a state without OC. And some white collar guys are more involve in such things as most people thinking.
