The corporation was a glorified crew. The numbers racket is like drugs and pussy. Anybody can get into a bracket. No one group can completely dominate it from top to bottom. Mafia never controlled it outright before or after the glorified cuban corporation crew. Moolinyan and spics are who started the 2 block rule during the proibition. Joey rao and then the fat tony enforced it during there era.
There are many discussions with JIGGS on this subject. When I presented an indictment, he ceased stating glorified crew but also noted most were Puerto Rican. The take-home net for the Corporation was insane. Hundreds of thousands were seized on one flight back to Miami and it represented a week's worth of action. Their sports book took 250K bets without hesitation and in the 80s.

Them being taken out with a single indictment says something.
