I posted recently on how Mob pump-and dump scams are dying out as a racket and just reading a post now on the Genovese from 2001 people are saying some unions talked about in that article are now clean. Seems the mob has been chased out of a lot of rackets in NY and there's no way back in.
Can anyone tell me new revenues the mob has explored in say the last 5-10 years? One thing I can think of is the trafficking of prescription meds like Oxycotin.

definitely pills, although thats kinda slowed down in the past year with the oxy 30s being harder and harder to get from doctors and pharmacies alike. steroids are always big, pot is a huge money maker. probably the biggest moneymaker drug wise in the city. so many people smoke, relatively low risk using and selling, and the market is huge

a big thing the black kids are doing that has always been around but they are taking it to another level is fake checks. that and CC scams, and social media scams duping people into giving them money. idk if i can see the LCN guys involved with this... if they are they're probably a hell of a lot more low key

Steroids is a good business for a guy in his 20's at best. You just dont make that much money in it. Think about how bulky a large load of juice is compared to a load of coke ?? Unless you own an underground pharma south of the border and ship all over the world, its a business for younger guys. When i was a young aspiring juice head , it was local cops and the state police you had to contend with when hustling juice. Today, the fuckin dea and customs get involved. Who needs that bull shit.
As far as fake checks and credit cards, the secret service and postal inspectors will eventually get you. No way to beat all the camera's. You need someone to cash the checks and open fake accounts. They will get caught and they will roll on you.
Not only that, to really make it right, you need good ID. Back in the day you can get a hook with dmv, today everything is digital and puctures are on file. P,us, anytime someone logs in , its redorded at dmv.
Credit cards were great back in the day, its over. Years ago you had about 100 companies issuing cards, now there is a hand full. Open up a cc account and the bank you open the account with is tied to another bank.. See what happens when they call the phone number thats tied to the other account and ask the person to verify info and the person is like wtf !!!! I didnt apply for that card.
Years ago there were ways to circumvent that, not anymore.
How do i know all this ????? Take a guess. The shit that goes on today with these gang bangers is a bunch of amateur shit and an insult to the intelligence of true criminals..lol
Fair disclosure, im totally legit today and plan on staying that way. Husltling is a young mans game son. Too much money to make legitimately.

"What hasn't changed much since the 1930s are the five families' bread and butter crimes: loan-sharking, extortion, gambling, narcotics and infiltrating organized labor, Mr. Frankel said. They aren't as involved in sophisticated financial frauds—such as stock pump-and-dump scams—as they were in the early 1990s, Mr. Frankel said. But they are resourceful when it comes to new opportunities, he added, citing recent prosecutions of offshore Internet gambling websites and trafficking in Viagra."

I don't think it's possible for a new racket. Everything new is old old is new recycled thing. The internet scams are 20 yrs old now. I read somewhere they don't mess with wall street scams anymore to much heat or the feds probaly warned the big guys stay out.

One of the newest consistent moneymakers is merchandise return cards & gift cards.

There will always be new rackets. Unless you legalize every crime, criminals will adapt.

By the way the NY MTA is being run, I'd say the mob is probably still in construction.

Currently, construction is shutting down the entire subway system weekly, almost nightly. Service is reduced during construction. Fares are sky-rocketing. Yet, the construction is never finished. It's been going on so long, I don't even remember when it began. Meanwhile if an Amtrak train derails and destroys sections of track, they restore service in days. So it's inexplicable unless the mob is there.

Meanwhile, you see new trains are being purchased, kiosks are appearing, many superficial additions that add fluff, but never express service or extra trains whenever you need them. NYC is being held hostage. The whole city.

There's no "probably" about it. The NY Mafia is still very much involved in the construction industry - both companies and unions. That will still be there after all other labor racketeering is gone.
