You can thank the mob for states changing their laws on that practice. Michael Franzese ran a scam where he would open up a gas station under a corporation and fake names, collect the gasoline tax and never pay it to the state of NY. When the state caught on they would simply shut down and run the same scam again with different identities. It was brilliant because the gas stations were otherwise run legitimately.

“You can thank the mob for states changing their laws on that practice.”

Yet another reason modern government holds a strong resemblance to the old mafia.
