In the case of Wall street, WS, they were given the new Jersey shore and boardwalk businesses in lieu of their WS jobs, as WS moved across the river after 911. So they now own or control most of the small businesses on LI, Westchester, and now the Jersey Shore and is why there are so many new mansions being built in Jersey. The Italians now the game and fought for their piece of the pie and will defend it with force. They do not always see the big moves being played all the time, they are happy to have an exclusive to make that $200k to $2m annual pay and work hard at their businesses, and are willing to defend it, and keep up the façade, while still getting insider information on Wall Street.
