Many mob bosses died free men even though they dressed sharp. Grant it was before RICO, still, it had absolutely nothing to do with their attire. People making excuses for dressing like bums need to stop. Mobsters need to blend in and infiltrate the upper crust of society. What respectable politicians and businessmen are going to sit with a mobster dressed like shit? Discuss.



Goti's downfall was not the tapes, it was the government having a constant campaign against him. They had one FBI squad that went after him for years, and they let killers and drug dealers off in exchange for their testifying against him. With all that it took 3 separate trials and a biased judge to get him,
