Civilians not understanding a career criminals mindset, shock
Whose a civilian? And you ain't no gangster....
Everyone on here is a civilian including me, when did I say I was a gangster.
It was a knee jerk reaction, like you sound like Mike Corleone in 1, lol...
But nah, it's not that they should behave like upstanding citizens, its that their criminal acumen was surprisingly sloppy. Remember, this crew was at the forefront of internet fraud before the 2000s even hit. Very slick operators.....
To me, dont shit where you eat. Like the Sopranos, dont sell coke on our garbage routes, when that's what we use to justify our lifestyle. Or ripoff the construction sites where we get big legit money contracts, or steal cars from the brokerage we use to facilitate complex stock schemes. If your a bookie, dont stiff the bettors, if a shylock, dont go nuts abusing guys to the point they cant pay. If a drug dealer, dont sell dummies or run off on the plug. Like dont run the shit into the ground, basically.
True mafia, IS supposed to operate in a grey area where there IS illegal activity, but its semilegit too, so hard to prove.The bid rigging is really the monstrously illegal part. Like take bid rigging. Theres a science to it, right? You dont just come in all obvious, otherwise it's clearly collusion. So you run the business the same....
Man, look at Calabria, they just busted some scheme, they had like, 86 front companies, phony factories and empty warehouses, trucks coming in and out simulating activity, all to defraud the government. There was no REAL business, these guys had a REAL BUSINESS!!!
