The best defence against mafia business is full declaration of assets and incomes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Of course the biggest mafia in Russia has always been the government; in Soviet times, the Communist Party, and now a circle of former KGB and FSB.
Mafia guys are all just insecure people who want their money. They're like little seven-year old kids when they don't get their way. I knew guys like that growing up in New Jersey.
In all these years, I've always tried to emphasize and to promote the need to combat the Mafia. Because it is a cancer which is oppressive and which stifles everybody's freedom and reduces the possibility for the areas in which it's present to prosper and to develop.
Wherever there's opportunity, the mafia will be there.
The Mafia is a question every time an Italian raises his head.
It's hard to tell which assets will be toxic. The best way to ensure that only shareholders and banks feel it is have adequate capital.
The same liberty that protects me also protects members of the Mafia.
All business sagacity reduces itself in the last analysis to judicious use of sabotage.
We should not allow wealthy people, including corporate criminals, to hide their assets and avoid paying their bills.
Italian-Americans are not the Mafia.
