It was a scene that could have come from The Godfather, Goodfellas or The Sopranos. Instead, it happened for real. Yesterday, the FBI arrested over 120 organized crime members, mostly in the Northeast. It was the biggest crackdown on the mob in history.
Below you'll find more on the how's and why's of the busts. Even though the crackdown was big, if you think this spells the end of the Mafia, I have only one word for you:
