If you're asking if I think the feds, as a matter of practice, charge mob guys with made up crimes; no I don't. For example, many people on the forums bitch about guys getting a RICO indictment on what they describe as a "glorified gambling" case. Apparently, they fail to understand that illegal gambling is one of the predicate RICO crimes when it's been conducted by a criminal organization over an extended period of time. Or they just don't like the RICO law.

Anyway, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with you underestimating the NY Mafia today.
