re: What does the mafia look like in this day and age?

The Russian mob is alive and well in South Florida. Mostly money laundering and other financial crimes.

Senior citizens eating lunch meats don't need to be monitored baw.

Mind ya business.

If you are talking Sicilian mob, they've been decimated by RICO and the rats. They are more like a social club than anything else nowadays. The only information that I heard is that they are heavily into stock scams, charity scams....like the whole Fraternal Order of Police scams, etc. Some of the smarter ones, have become something along the likes of Crime Concierge 's wherein they are facilitators, like putting together cartel types with Russian very, etc....sort of like, " Hey, I know a guy" I'll set up a meet, broker a sit down....for that, maybe you pay me a couple of points.

Like the Demon Party.

The government got rid of their competition about 20 years ago. Then brought in the new generation called non profits tied to social justice

I was working as a photographer in the early 90's. One of the sales people messed this guy's order up. Back then being young and stupid, I didn't scare easily. But this dude comes in right out of mafia casting. Heavy New York accent and was huge and pissed. One of the few times I used common sense and said what ever made him happy.

My mom told me of a time when her cousin got involved in the life in the 50's. More of a hang around guy. And of course he got wacked.

What a bunch of low IQ imbeciles in that picture….. I am embarrassed for our country.

I was there and saw it with my own eyes. But I can't believe we were living like a bunch of fools less than 5 years ago.

The government is the mafia. 20-30 years ago they sent guys to jail fior long stretches for things that are legal now. . Gambling, numbers racket (which is just a neighborhood lottery) lending money…etc. freaking credit cards charge higher interest rates than Shylock ever did. It’s all “legal” as long as Don Government gets its tax money.
