Gambling has been, by far, the most lucrative for Mob families because it includes loan sharking. That's probably true today, even with all the legal casinos and offtrack betting. Construction also has been and is very lucrative because the Mob dominates construction unions, as well as the businesses that supply concrete, drywall, windows, etc.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
