Why would someone, on their own, a million miles away, kick up to anybody?

Isn’t the point of kicking up, to pay an underworld tax for protection? What are they going to say, give me my money or I know a guy 2000 miles away who will come and beat you up?

The point is to some that kicking up brings you the support and protection of the family, as well as status among the underworld. “You can cheat lie steal and kill and it’s all completely legitimate “

The Pittsburgh mob was said to have gone defunct 2000 - 2006 but who knows, maybe theres still some underlying activity.

There has been some gambling busts involving sons of dead associates and such but there's no family left. Only one made guy still living and he's pushing 90.
