I don't think the shenanigans of two associates, a notoriously dysfunctional capo and a Puerto Rican cop-on-the-take is entirely representative of the activities of a few hundred made guys. Remember, that Lucchese indictment a few weeks ago uncovered a criminal operation that only involved one made guy and four associates which brought in $25 million.
However, I'm happy some of you guys found another reason to whine and blubber about "how the mob has become a joke babble babble babble". I mean, that's basically the only thing that still happens on this board, isn't it?
I think you might want to check that Luchese gambling bust again, it was $25 million over 25 years, meaning $1 million per year, then ask yourself how many ways was that split. In NY sports gambling $1 million per year is garbage money, NY state takes in $2 billion per month.
