I have studied organized crime for many years. I have a private library at home on books written about every crime figure. Costello was one of the most powerful and intelligent mob bosses. He knew exactly what he wanted and accomplished it. He retired a very wealthy man and lived till his 80s gracefully. Not many mob bosses have accomplished what he accomplished.

It is said when Gigante was cleared of the charges he walked by Costello in the court room and said, "thanks Frank". He knew Costello's silence was golden.

While growing up in Brooklyn, next door to Mr. Toriello, an associate of Mr. Costello's and a partner in trash/landfill business, Mr. Costello visited us several times and my Mother liked

He’s was one of the most dangerous kinds of gangsters.

Intelligent, careful, a manipulator/corrupter, etc. Much more dangerous than some thug who simply kills.

A pleasure to encounter a fluent native English speaker narrator rather than a bot!

“I never went to school past the third grade but, I’ve graduated from the ten universities of hard knockers”

CI watched every episode of the sopranos and boardwalk. It taught me one thing you may be on top for years but eventually you will be brought down. There were very few bosses that that died from natural causes. Costello was a shrewed, wise gangster who knew when to fold his hand like a gambler.

Costello is my minds eye view of a real gangster. Low key, quiet and all business

[JonBrown-pohe]

As a result of criminalizing a desired substance, an exponential increase in criminality results. Alcohol was legalized which diverted profits to entrepreneurs, prevents poisonous alcohol on the market, and creates many legitimate jobs. Given the afore mentioned benefits of Legalization, why are other substances still criminalized?
