Hayame Zero 10/07/21 6:17:29 PM #1:	...to pistol-whipping https://montrealgazette.com/news/world/mafia-bosses-worry-for-future-as-soft-millennial-mobsters-prefer-texting-to-pistol-whipping Millennial mafiosos in New York have been accused by veteran mobsters of going soft, becoming obsessed with their phones and using text messages rather than fists to intimidate victims. Growing up in wealthy suburbs as social media exploded, the new generation is said to have become less brutal, and less versed in traditional face-to-face tactics like pistol-whipping. According to court documents relating to a recent extortion plot in the city, one alleged gangster involved sent his victim, a union official, a message saying: Hey, this is the 2nd text, there isnt going to be a 3rd. The situation has left aging crime family bosses concerned over their succession, and has also meant they have had to be more personally involved in the minutiae of criminal operations, leading to their more frequent arrests. Using text messages to make threats also leaves potentially damning evidence for the FBI to find. Everything is on the phones with them, one former senior member of New Yorks Colombo crime family complained to The Wall Street Journal, criticizing the younger generation. Richard Frankel, a former FBI agent, said text messages would be frowned upon by older mobsters. The issue emerged after the arrest last month of Andrew Mush Russo, 87, the Colombo family boss, along with most of the rest of its senior leadership. They were held over an alleged 20-year plot to seize control of a New York City construction union, and its lucrative employee health insurance programme. Prosecutors compared it to shakedowns like those in films such as Goodfellas and television shows such as The Sopranos. The veterans showed no compunction in their methods. One was secretly recorded by the FBI saying about a potential victim: Ill put him in the ground right in front of his wife and kids. Experts said their involvement in the detail of the alleged plot showed a lack of confidence in lower-ranking members. According to court records Russo was clandestinely taped by the FBI saying of his leadership role: I cant walk away. I cant rest. He denied charges including racketeering while lying in a hospital bed with an FBI agent standing guard after his arrest. The five families that have controlled New Yorks Italian-American Mafia for decades have become shadows of their former selves, according to the leading racketeering expert in the United States. In a 2019 research paper, Prof James Jacobs, of New York University School of Law, said that there was a lack of tough youngsters coming up through the ranks. The world in which the (crime families) became powerful is largely gone. Fifty years ago most big U.S. cities had well-recognized working class Italian neighbourhoods. They hired teenage boys, some of them Italian immigrants, for odd jobs and recruited the most promising into their operations, Prof Jacobs wrote. These neighbourhoods have dramatically shrunken as Italian-Americans have steadily assimilated into mainstream society, thereby radically diminishing the pool of tough teenagers with Cosa Nostra potential. Everything is on the phones with them Prof Jacobs, who died last year, concluded that there had been a breakdown of omerta the Mafia code of silence and that the current generation of members and associates may have less loyalty. The crime families have been affected by the legalization of gambling, falling local political corruption, the decline of unions and new technological tools used by the FBI. The extent to which social media has now infiltrated the crime world was evident in the recent case of a fugitive Mafia suspect who was wanted in New York. His son took a photograph of him in a swimming pool in Florida and taunted the FBI by posting it on Twitter, along with a rat emoji. For nearly a century the Italian-American mafia in New York has been run by five families. Each is ruled by a boss, sometimes called a godfather.They also have an underboss, a consiglieri, and several capos who each control a crew. Members of the crew have been variously called soldiers, wise guys and goodfellas. Associates are not members but work with them. Experts have compared the families to franchises and they rely on new blood coming through. Their influence peaked in the 1980s and 1990s, and since then a concerted effort by the FBI has cut them back. They have also faced competition from other crime groups. According to experts, they are down though not out but a resurgence should not be written off. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame Zero posted [p:958808253] in Mafia boss...

You can't expect old habits to always work; you have to constantly adapt and refine or you'll end up as a cautionary talewhich is the current status of Italian Mafiososthey got too complacent and let their guards down. I think the old generation of Mafia is equivalent to the newer generation of hackers today. Instead of controlling the union, doing shake downs and running gambling rings, you now hack cryptocurrency accounts, call in SWAT pranks, and manipulate stocks through twitter pump and dumps. Mafia exists but they've taken a different form and are not your conventional tough guy goombahs you see in the media. <cite>insomniacRA posted [p:958814599] in Mafia boss...
