Organized crime and bankers have long had a symbiotic relationship. This is another very well kept secret. The ruling classes whose power and wealth is based on the capitalist system have collaborated with organized crime whenever it was to their advantage, i.e. to make more money—and it often has been to their advantage. IMO, because capitalism is itself a form of organized crime, the people who run this system have no problem doing business with the less “legitimate” organized criminals.
