Something another poster said also rings true in that LCN guys have a stable structure in place to come back to once released or even say if the cops break p one racket there are other rackets available most "regular" criminals have one thing they do that brought them there successes and most times if that gets shut down rarely do they rise that high again with something different usually they turn back to not so successful ventures and constantly talk of what they did at one time back in the day
