Mugging isn't a profitable enough business to inspire the kind of organization you're imagining.

- logfromblammo 10y agoIf I ever damaged my prefrontal cortex to the point where I could incorporate muggings into my personal revenue stream, I would definitely... be a fence for the people that I would advise to perform muggings in that way. Maybe I could also write an app for victims to do self-service muggings, or on-demand muggings--partially automate the process, to improve the mugging experience. See, the real problem with robbing people one at a time is the labor factor. One mugger can rob--what?--maybe two or three people a day without getting caught? I don't even know. There just aren't enough career criminals out there to serve the whole market. If you could somehow automate the process of stealing just a little bit of money from a lot of people, all at once, all the time, that would totally disrupt... ...the banking industry.~ [cue rimshot] Thank you. I'll be here every open mic night.
