I agree with the two above posts. You can certainly see mob involvement years ago but many of these companies have been acquired by other companies and the mob ties are pretty much a thing of the past. Or you have the descendants of mob guys who run their companies completely legitimate. One can point out the involvement of the mob in these companies being created and having success in the first place but it seems most of these people try to get away from that reputation. As said above, so much of it is corporate today.

Obviously I'm talking about several of the companies listed above. Others, like Cali's company or Sciandra's company, still have a more direct mob link. And you see others too. Some denied permits by the NYC Business Integrity Commission to operate in the wholesale food markets. And obviously still a lot of restaurants owned by mob guys.
