Maybe select few guys run scams like that , but it's very rare
They lost there power, now days who ever has a few bucks has it from legit money.
The Russians Chinese blacks all took over hands on rackets. Take 18th ave Brooklyn
Gambino "stronghold" is all Chinese , they all sold out there block , Chinese have whore houses on every corner I no for sure they dnt get any money from them.
Capos in the family who legit don't have much have trouble paying their mortgage and can't afford to have enough cars in the house for there kids to drive.
It has all changed these sophisticated crimes there are rare that an Italian Icn family runs them.
