Reneging, shill bidding...it's all bad.

I can't imagine bidding and winning an auction and then just not paying. That's wild. I guess there's one-off situations....(you just got a terminal cancel diagnosis and need to divert the money to paying your medical bills).

Well, then you should tell some of my clients who are charged with violating 18 USC secs. 892 & 894. I'll let them know that their charges are mere delusions in their own minds, because of your vast experience in dealing with organized crime.

I’m a cop. And I have 20+ years experience with gambling rings and paying debts. Sec. 892 isn’t even relevant to our argument. Sec. 894 is however. And again; this isn’t 1950-1990. “Bookies” for the most don’t “break your legs” anymore because so many people ran to the cops. So yes, through my vast experience, I stand by my statement. Does it happen here and there? Sure. But it’s 1 in a 100.

I guess it’s just like I read about in the WSJ. The mob can’t find good people anymore. Kids these days just want to text a threat over the phone. They have no appreciation for the importance of delivering the message in person and backing it up.

Did you see that James Woods movie, "Cop", where they took his badge away and at the end of the movie they said you can't do that, you're a cop and he said yeah, but they took my badge away, and I don't give a ...." Great movie, I thought.

It's watered down. Even John Gotti's kid wouldn't have been made back in the day due to being part Jewish.

If you’re a cop as opposed to a federal agent, then you’ve never arrested someone for any violation of the United States Code, have you? Regardless, 892 is making extortionate extensions of credit and 894 is collections of credit by extortionate means. They usually go hand in hand in a case, no? And while today’s mafia isn’t the mafia from the 60s and 70s, they sure do still earn income from loansharking and betting. If people stopped victimizing others due to concern their victims would run to law enforcement, there would be no more crime committed. I’m sure we can both agree that’s not the case.
