Jews pay the italians for that kind of protection.
They were smart and got their kids into college in the 30s and got out of racketeering.
The Israeli mob is BIG.
Jews deal quite a bit with mafia but really dont know of any organized Jewish outfits out here anymore.
Though there have been rumors that some of the Jewish anti defamation groups are actually organized crime fronts.
Like the Italian Knights of Columbus are accused of for the italian mafia.
I remember one cover on the NY Post maybe 20 years ago, where there were some Jewish guys involved in an organized crime outfit and the cover said
“La Kosher Nostra” lol!!!
Before I cut the cable I watched a special on the mafia.
I think I remember hearing that Meyer Lansky merged the Jewish outfit in with Lucky Lucianos outfit when Lucky took over.
Seems Lansky saw the profit in working with the Sicilian mafia.
Lansky became one of the top guys under Lucky.
All I know about that Jewish business is they were well protected.
The last trip I made there we had gotten a message from dispatch to be on the lookout for a stolen trailer.
I got to the stop the evening before my appointment and parked in the alley as usual.
I looked at the trailer they had hooked to their truck and low and behold I had found our lost trailer.
They hadn’t even bothered to remove our company logo, just painted over it and painted their name above it.
Problem was our logo was red and showed through that single coat of white paint like a neon sign.
They even kept our trailer number on it!
I called dispatch and reported it to my dispatcher, the company owner got on the phone to verify the info.
He just laughed and then told me, very seriously, to forget I had even seen the trailer.
He said that if I said anything I would probably end up like Hoffa, missing forever.
