Something to consider in our history.
"At the same time, the Jewish bootlegging mob known as The Purple Gang dominated the Detroit underworld during prohibition, while the Jewish Bugs and Meyer Mob operated in the Lower East Side of New York City before being absorbed into Murder, Inc. and becoming affiliates of the Italian-American Mafia." —- The PURPLE mob? Is that why some people wear purple ties etc?
"The Soviet and Russian émigré community in New York's Brighton Beach contains a large Jewish presence. Some of these newer American-based Jewish gangsters, such as Ludwig Fainberg (who has lived in Ukraine, Israel and the United States, but never in Russia), share more in common culturally with Russia and the Soviet republics than their predecessors, such as Meyer Lansky.[39][page needed]
Russian Jewish mafia figures, such as Semion Mogilevich, have attempted to penetrate the United States, including participating in a US$10 billion money laundering scheme through the Bank of New York in 1998.
Israeli mobsters also have had a presence in the United States. The Israeli mafia (such as the Abergil crime family) is heavily involved in ecstasy trafficking in America.[40]" —– My guess is these are the people like Mika and her dad and other Russian Jews who seem to act like they are part of an organized crime ring.

Seems these guys have been around for some time. Now when we take a look at some of the worst places in the country, it seems to be the traditional stomping grounds of the old mob families, NY, Minn, Chicago, LA, Miami. Seems rather coincidental doesn't it? Seems they went, "legit," but kept their old methods around as well.
