Is is possible to spend your entire life in hiding from the mob?

The mob is not nearly as efficient as Holllywood makes them out to be. With each successive generation the quality of gangsterism has declined considerably - to the point where they're now mostly ignorant thugs. It's also expensive to go after people. The fact is the mob gets very few informers these days. Gravano, Hill, etc., they're hiding in plain sight.

NO!!!!  You don't want you personal life mixing iwth your business life, to have everyone you work with see the little fights, etc.....not a good idea at all.

Heard about them... Advise: Don't get involved with gang activity... It will lead to a life of crime, and then no way of getting a real job in the future.  If the life you want is to be an inmate until you die, have at it, otherwise steer clear.  I promise you that you don't want to be in jail for the rest of your days.

I believe this is an exellent question. But more than that, I think you've already answered it even better. I mean, you are totally right about people not willing to take risks and live fully. I personally live up with this idea and I have ended up in a lot of luck by just listening to my instinct, heart, and mind. This question can keep me going on and on, but what good will it make? \n\nIt is said that if all the wealth in the world were to be divided equally among all the people, in 20 years the poor will be poor and the rich will be rich back again. Unfortunately, There are those who were born to scrub public restrooms and those who take chances and end up in somewhat better job (If not the best job there is). And YES, College does NOT guarantee success but how you apply yourself! Everyone who looses and turns the failure into an experience is a winner. \n\nAnd yes, I walk the talk. I am independent, 21 year old Mexican, quatri-lingual, living in China and running my own import export buisness. If I were home sick, or was too afraid to go into a country where I did not know the language, I would have done nothing. \n\nIn life, there are those who succeed, and those who will just watch. Which one are you??

You first have to become a "legal mastermind," that is, know precisely the line separating lawful vs unlawful behavior.\n\nMost people think, speak, work and live WAY WITHIN the boundaries set by society's laws. They are not players at all, they "play" it too safe.\n\nA criminal mastermind is so smart he doesn't even play outside the law; rather, he directs others, through untraceable puppet strings, to act outside the laws for him. Meanwhile, he lives completely within a thick shroud of unassailable legitimacy.\n\nA criminal mastermind is not necessarly a bad person. He just knows the law so well that he can manipulate it at will. Many great people have had to act outside the law to get important things done.

No, not at all. You can have a full life anyway, but just take it easy, remain social the best way you know how. Perhaps someway, somehow, somewhere, when you least expect it, some one may come your way.

As most of it is unguarded, yes, it is possible.  However, if you get caught, you're in deep doo doo.

Well, the famous Mobster hey day was the 20s and 30s, of course, but they stayed around with lower profiles for many decades thereafter and for all I know are still there. \n\nI have an actual true life story to tell you since you asked. I promise every word of this is true.  In the 1960s, I lived in a western suburb of Chicago. It was and is a very affluent suburb, with big old trees and huge mansions. I was 10 when my family moved there. Down one block and around the corner, lived a "former" mobster, one Tony "the Big Tuna" Accardo, by name.  He lived alone with an old housekeeper. He was fairly old himself, or so he seemed to me.\nMy mother was not at all happy that he was our close neighbor, but didn't explain to me why until I was an adult. I just thought he was a cute little old man. He would walk every day with his cane and his old housekeeper, both of them all in black.\n\nWhen it came time for Halloween and trick-or-treating, my mother, and my best friend's mother made sure we girls NEVER went to the house of the Big Tuna for treats.  If he was walking when we were out, our moms would call us inside.\nFinally, one day we were out walking ourselves and the housekeeper came running up to us puffing and handed us each a pie. She said, "Mr. Accardo, he sees you nice young ladies alla da time out here, and he says to me, make them a pie, theysa nice girls. So, I maka you dese pies, now YOU take'm and give'm to your mama's with de compliments of Mr. Tony Accardo, and you tell your mamas that Mr. Accardo he said that you are nice girls and he looks out for you here in this neighborhood. He is a good neighbor."\nWell, we were only 11, and we didn't know what else to do but take the pies, and give them to our moms, who both did the same thing--opened the garbage can and threw the pie away. And that was that.  Sorry, not more exciting. No guns, no blood.\n\nBut Tony Accardo had been a consiglieri to Al Capone at one time, and was a godfather, and a very bad man.  Nevertheless, where a godfather resides, there is very little crime in that neighborhood. They don't soil their own garden.  DHW

Those steps are well outlined but it is a psychologial war of wills once you have come into a position of power. Can your deception outwiegh your corruption? If so you will succeed. Temporarily.

Yeah..\n\n1. go to college and work using your mind or creative abilities.\n2. Invent something the world wants and will buy\n3. Theft or extortion\n4. Marry wealth (though rich people don't usually even date poor people)\n5. Kill off a rich relative after they make you their sole heir.\n6. Get lucky and find the winning lotto ticket on the ground somewhere.\n7. Much to everyone's surprise, oil sprouts out when you dig a hole to plant a tree in your backyard.\n8. Prostitution
