It was the government, via prohibition that made Capone able to ammass a powerfull organization which gained its profits on the smuggling of alcohol.

The Medillin cartel has also been made possible by the American government's insistence that legitimate businesses should not distribute drugs and that it should be left to people like Capone.

When's the last time you ever heard of a K-Mart CEO ordering the murder of WALMART employees for moving in on his turf?
