Came here for news, not meth heads on stolen internet access.
There is a group of them that think they are 'running' the board.
What surprises await!
COMPARISON OF MAFIA VS CARTEL BUSINESS MODELS
They both bore the same nickname: “Shorty”. Salvatore Riina, boss of Sicily’s Cosa Nostra from the late 1970s, reportedly until his death in jail in 2017, was known as Totò ‘u Curtu in dialect. And Joaquín Guzmán Loera, convicted last week of being the world’s biggest drug lord and leader of crime’s mightiest syndicate, Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, became famous as “El Chapo”.
Riina was also called La Belva – the beast – for self-explanatory reasons, and Guzmán, El Rapido, for the speed at which he delivered Colombian cocaine, via Mexico, to the US and Europe.
I saw them both stand trial, a quarter of a century apart: the closing phases of the mafia “Maxi trial” in 1992 with Riina convicted in absentia; then Riina’s own case in 1993; and the opening salvos of Guzmán’s trial last November. Two eras separating two hemispheres; same business, same nickname.
And how that business model appeared to change, yet remained in many crucial respects the same.

MATTIS FILLS IN FOR KRAFT AFTER KRAFT REMOVED FROM HONOREE LIST
NAVY SEALS
'TRAFFICKING VICTIMS'
>>>Robert Kraft skips Navy SEALs gala after being dropped as honoree
Robert Kraft was MIA from a Navy SEALs gala — after he was taken off the bill as an honoree.
The embattled billionaire, who has been charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution, was originally on the invites for the Navy SEAL Foundation’s benefit dinner in Times Square Thursday.
He was due to be honored with the prestigious Patriot Award, sources told Page Six.
But days after his arrest, his name was taken off the foundation’s website.
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis filled in for New England Patriots owner Kraft, who denied all charges against him.
A source told us: “Obviously, Bob was taken off the bill.
The Navy SEALs are the ones who are trying to prevent female trafficking. Jim gave a great speech — with no mention of Bob.”
Former Marine and recent Oscar nominee Adam Driver was there with his wife, Joanne Tucker, and John Krasinski — who was not there — donated $100,000 to the foundation.
