A man once came out and told me and my friend Eric to stop kicking a football at the side of his house and that he was an ex Hells Angel and we shouldn't piss him off. We were about 8 at the time, and live in rural Cornwall. This has been my only encounter with organised crime. Thanks for listening.

I liked the show McMafia on amazon prime. It gets a little masturbatory at times about I don't know, englishness? But overall pretty interesting how things work these days.

Whitey Bulger did not allow heroin into Boston, nor did he permit selling to children. He was big into physical fitness and loved animals.  Pretty nice guy IMO.

One time I was eating at an all night place in Greek town in Chicago. These two guys wearing leather jackets who looked like people pretending to be gangsters from what they had seen in movies came in and it was super obvious they were given an envelope full of money from the guy at the register. So basically I'm in the mob.

I've known people who did the worst crime of all, contraband importation and piracy of VHS tapes of popular Hollywood movies across the Iron Curtain. They were pretty organized idk

fakeaccount posted:So while we're on the topic, how do I organize some crime? Like what's my first step? Presumably, you get "organized" and plan out your crimes so they aren't random. I guess if you're solo that just means more planning. If you're needing a crew, gotta go hiring. But the best businesses are the ones that run themselves so you gotta have a front for your rackets. Now, if your imagination has stirred at all when reading all that - congratulations! You have what it takes to be an "organized" criminal! shahadien posted:I actually worked with organized crime for a long time...am out now, but don't mind laying out some of the methods for those who are curious? Sure, post it all! This stuff is always entertaining even if it isn't always 100% true!

The police like to brag and talk poo poo about how criminals are dumb and always get caught but maybe they just don't ever catch the good ones and it's confirmation bias on their part. No perfect crime? How would you even know if they got away with one? Idk the unsolved numbers keep climbing and sometimes I feel like frankly these dudes probably can't investigate their way out of a brown paper bag. ... What are we talking about?

Man read up on the Commission Charbonneau the half-decade long investigation into mafia corruption in Montreal's construction industry. It's hilarious. Last time I check two former bigwigs including the ex-CEO from the new megahospital were still in jail awaiting trial Edit: They had a guy who was called "Mr 3%" because you'd submit a project, he'd approve it, then take 3% off the top

I mean government is a fractal of bad, but Quebec is particularly egregious, and if you point this out a bunch of local patriotes will come out of the woodwork and shout you down, this was an especially funny incident

I don't know much about Quebec but I took a vacation there and one of the immediate things cab drivers and such would say when I asked about life in Quebec was: "this place is crooked as hell and run by the mob"

Before I was born, the old man half owned a bar in the Southside of Chicago. He had connections in organized crime, and growing up he'd send me on playdates with one of his mob friends' son. If you wanna get into organized crime and have no idea how the gently caress to start, my guess would be to take over a bar in a state that prohibits or severely limits video gaming machines, have a back room at your bar for video gaming, and do what it takes to stay open.

Organized crime is one of the lousiest ways to make unethical money. Things that aren’t strictly illegal are far more rewarding
