Just remember that despite the widespread acceptance of the existance of
organized crime, they are still criminals. If they openly issued cash and
such, then corporations would have to put them down, if for no other
reason than PR. It may be an unspoken but widely known secret that OC
controls certain neighborhoods, but to publish money, methinks, would be
an insult tossed in the face of most governments and corps. At least the
illusion of secrecy should be kept. =)
One of the Mafia's key rules is Omerta, or Silence. Printing maf-cash with
John Gotti instead of G.Washington breaks that rule pretty much. ;) With
most other criminal orgs, the same applies. =)
Ever lovable and always scrappy,
kawaii
