Abstract: The great founding figures of organized crime in the twentieth century were born and bred in New York City, and the city was the basis of their operations. the mob became a major force, and its tentacles reached into virtually every enterprise, whether legal or illegal: gambling, boxing, labor racketeering, stock fraud, illegal unions, prostitution, food service, garment manufacturing, construction, loan sharking, trucking, drug dealing -- you name it, the mob controlled it.
