The Mob is back in the news - one of the old New York families. There was a time when their activities consisted of loan sharking, extortion, "protection", intimidation and the like. But now they are coming into the 21st century and "upgrading." The current indictment involves a multi-million dollar online sports betting operation in Costa Rica and also plans to sell pills for E.D. i.e. Viagra type for $5.00 each. The Manhattan D.A. said "Times have changed since Jimmy Hoffa disappeared."
But he doesn't seem to go away. Anyway, the photo in the NY Times was right out of "Goodfellas".
