This article is pure guesswork

I suspect that when the inner workings of organized crime become high profile enough for someone to write a Wikipedia article on them, they have probably fallen out of use.

Or another way: If you saw it in the Godfather movies, it's old.

Prove me wrong by sourcing this article! Bantosh 20:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

@Bantosh: Agree wholeheartedly. It appears as though this entire article was written purely on the strength of a few gangster films, and may or may not bear any relationship with reality.
The article is written in the present tense, and I'm not totally convinced that "Caporegimes" are all that common in the USA. Anyone care to comment?
Additionally, the article doesn't read very well, and contains some poor grammar. Anybody able to tell me how to flag articles that require improvement?
Would like to point out "This ranking system protects the higher levels of the organization from incrimination if a lower level member should be captured by law enforcement." appears related to RICO law and similar. (as in, as far as I've understood RICO law, this claim is false) Someone with more juridical knowledge could check it. -nanonyme — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.130.40.70 (talk) 21:00, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
