        Commit one crime at a time. Trying to break this is what has gotten many big fish.

        Remember, they picked up Capone on tax evasion.

      Organized crime worries about legal issues all the time, and their whole purpose is crime.

      Limiting liability, and plausible deniability, is a cornerstone of literally getting away with murder.

        Eh. Aligning your organization with a patron politician or police organization is how you get away with murder.

        The Italian and Jewish Mafias of the 1960s were paramilitary wings of the anti-Communist movement. Once Communism was officially squashed in the 90s, they got rolled up quick.
