Interesting question Gary. I have often wondered that myself: Why on earth would someone like DiFronzo do #anything# criminal these days? He's 85 and rich! What could be worth the risk?

I think a lot of them did get out as quick as they could essentially. But for those who didn't: 1) In the past you simply were not allowed to 2) They were in so deep that it was probably better to try and stay involved to keep your eye on things since if they went south you were in all likelihood sunk

They say that CEOs share more psychopathic traits with killers than any profession. I imagine, as Harlem says, just can't give up the power

Some of them are not as wealthy as you would imagine. They have a lot of money, but maybe not so much as to just be able to totally walk away

And some of them are just loonytunes and probably love it.

But I think you're right, that any sane person would, particularly in this day and age, leave it behind at the first opportunity.

Sometimes you think about these guys though... they are nuts. Jimmy Marcello would probably seem like a nice guy if you knew him casually. In reality he's someone who has, probably multiple times, beaten other men to death.

A lot of these guys are cut from a different cloth.

Did you watch those "Iceman" interviews with Kuklisnki?

The pyschiatrist's analysis of him was interesting.
