You can't make a business of an honest marketplace based on selling services only to dishonest people. Eventually your own customers will ruin the business.
This is the fundamental reason "Organized Crime" always fails in the end.
- ghaff 7y agoOrganized Crime mostly fails because people get thrown in jail. Obviously not happening here.
- koolba 7y agoIsn’t that what all those credit card dump sites do?
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoI'm not saying you can't make the business work in the short term. But ultimately the more successful it becomes the faster it will fail.
- qazpot 7y agoI don't think it is true that Organized Crime fails in the end. OC organizations like Cosa Nostra , Yakuza, Triads and many others are not disappearing any time soon.
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoLook closer at what you are calling "organizations". I would just call that an Industry. The individuals and businesses (Families) fail at a rapid rate. Just because they are replaced by other businesses in the same industry, doesn't mean that criminal organizations are successful in terms of longevity. There are some notable exceptions in the Yakuza, but I would argue even those fit the pattern because the most successful Yakuza are working in grey areas and aren't fully engaging in illegal actives.
