re: .

I get what you and others are saying.

But consider that the mafia (or whatever we should call them) have tentacles that have such a penetration into some areas that truly a lot of people can easily be one or two degrees of separation from them.

I have a second cousin who ran used car lots for Carlos. I only met him 3 or 4 times, and only at family funerals or 50th wedding anniversary parties. Old people shite, ya know. He was way older than me and my dad, and died of natural causes about 10 yrs ago. He was an entertaining wise guy for sure. A greaser with a pencil thin mustache. But I never really new him outside of those family events. I only know what my dad would speak about, and those stories were entertaining.
