Ya, i mean how else would i know what galleries to run, who to blacklist, how much to charge for advertising, who to hire/fire, even who to host with, and what BBSs to frequent. . The Leader looks after all that.
Actually, I think there may be more to this than some think... A while ago, I got a phonecall from some eastern european guys that wanted part of the profits from my site. On the other hand, when I told them to fuck off nothing happened, so it can't be all that bad.
Originally posted by TheDoc Texas Mafia... One group of mean fuckers... QuickBuck crew is one dangerous fucking crew. I heard one time they wacked a guy for charging back.
You mean they wacked a guy for $40 or so? puh-lease.. It costs more in gass to drive over.

The net maybe too techie for oldtimers but there out there for sure dont kid yourself.
That's no mafia, if I open a porn shop or a coffeeshop and start selling weed legally in my town (Netherlands), I can expect a local Turkish guy paying me a visit and forcing me to make some kind of deal.
I even know some of them, most are coffeeshop owners that make deals with each on prices to keep a good profit. People in the oil industry also do it, hell even cable providers are probably doing it around here, its like a union, no mob.
Internet mafia is a myth, what are they going to do, fly over and whack me? This reminds me of Analize This (with Robbert de Niro); "On our last meeting we gathered to discuss how we were gonna devide this country, now we have to meet to discuss how to stay alive. Times have changed and we gotta change with 'em"
On which De Niro replied "So what do you suggest, a fuckin website?"
Its called Organized Crime. The term Mafia with the implied meaning being the traditional Italian based groups is out of date.
In Federal law enforcement circles they often refer to it as LCN "La Cos Nostra".
The pornography industry in the US and much of the world used to be entirely controlled by Italian and Jewish organized crime families. Especially in the distribution, production and manufacturing end of things. You couldn't get into the business unless you had connections and OC partners in the background.
Most of the time, organized crime families would force companies to use their services at inflated prices. Its like in the garment industry in NYC. Open up a clothing manufacturing operation and you'll have OC guys show up telling you the companies that will be providing you all your services, like hangers, jobbers, truckers, etc. They jack their profits out that way.
That tight control started to evaporate in the late '80s and things really changed when the Net took over. It became less of a profitable business then it used to be which was one of the main reasons the grip was loosened. There were also a tremendous amount of obscenity indictments during the Meese years which changed the desire for many of the old time families to stay in it as tape prices came down along with profits and a changing marketplace. There was a lot more money to be made pushing tech penny stock IPO's and in other high end financial services deals and scams.
Most of the OC guys in the Valley aren't like you picture out of the Godfather. Some remnants of the old time families in NYC still play the part, but the Valley guys where the porn industry is heavily concentrated are low key and just businessmen with connections. You do hear about occasional violence still, but its mostly over debts owed that haven't been paid.
The Net pretty much came in so fast and furious, the old timers didn't know what hit them. Most of them are up to speed now and have their fingers in many of the bigger things out there.
OC has also expanded to includ many other nationalities involved in adult entertainment worldwide. So its just not the Italian and Jewish guido's any longer. The younger guys don't have the killing balls like the old generation did. Now its more of a financing type arrangement. We'll fund you and take a slice.
To see how things used to be there's a pretty fascinating article on this link.
The article is accurate and so are the names in there.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

This did not happen within the past 10 years and if it did your friend is full of bullshit.
The online network medium short circuits those things that make extortion simple, unless you're talking about the porn production meccas. But it's not clear what you're talking about.
The only reason you would have organized crime involved in your (online) porn business is if you were already involved with them.
I believe it. I know the Gay mafia owns a lot of sites. Dormangels was owned by the French Mafia before the current owners got it. The first time we threatened them, they surrendered the URL. Fuckers. Now they sit around and object to everything at the board meetings.
And that Amanda chick at Python, she mafia for sure. Total killer, I've always said so.
Oh, and Ynot bob is mafia, definitely. In Vancouver, back in 2000, he strangled a guy right in front of me, for blocking his sunlight in Gastown.
And the Sweets.....Mafia all the way. Did you see all the guns and grenades they brought to the Vegas show? Everybody calls Steve Sweet by his new name now "Don Sweetie"
That mafia application is hilarious. I was crying when I saw that.

Originally posted by drunkdollars I heard one time at a show. Some Lawyer was yelling at Hooper.... About sueing him and shit!!!
Wiseman came in and poured a few drinks over his head and wispered something in his ear!!! the guy just calmly got up and walked away and wasnt seen at the show again!!!
wiseman probally told the guy the same thing he said to this big black bouncer he gave a private lap dance to in Vancouver.
This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!
I dont know about all this mafia stuff but I just hope that if Hooper is running the Texas chain that
HE NEVER SENDS HIS TIE WEARING COW HERD AFTER ME!!!
HAHAHAHAH * Texas Mafia * BAAA HAHAHAHA
The Texas Mafia goes by a different name and it is not Hooper, it goes by the name of the US Government. It has other names like Mr President, Mr Vice President, Mr Secretary of Defense, Senator, Director of the CIA....none of these names sound like Hooper?
They dont even rhythm with Hooper.
Ok here be another question for yous- How does what a few may or may not be doing affect your ability to make money from traffic?

Hmmmm...that's funny...when I did some party promotion in S.F. I met some Irish brethren there...I wouldn't go so far as to call them mafia...but they were very family oriented.
They let us throw party's one of there houses...it was REALLY nice...some filiming of beverly hills cop was done there...and they had an uncanny knack for acquiring certain substances at wholesale prices for retail sales...good lads all in all. POGUE MAHONE!
Someone who knows Ricoh? Get the fuck outta here. Ya it will happen, just takes time. REMEMBER the Government has more time and money than all of us put together on this board.
LOL Ricoh is a copier, RICO is the federal racketeering statutes
