They were stealing it blind but they had some good deals even if most of our stuff from them fell off their trucks.

I can see why Obama wouldn't want that, would he? He'd sound like Nixon when he said "I am not a crook. That gave us a bad name. They don't need that

So. Sal, what do they want from us. Does he know how rusty we are?

S: I don't think so Ton. There are so many reruns on that they don't realize we have hung it up.

TS: Look paisan, we are just small time goombahs when it comes to Goldman Sachs and those guys. They are in a different league. They get the laws changed before they break them. They got the pols working for them, the media giving them a permanent BJ. Look at all the money they, um, divert. I'd like one of those bonus checks".

We had a guy once on the inside who told us they made more on those fraudulent mortgages in a month than we made on extortion in ten years. What'd they call it, derivatives? Sounds so clean.

S: That's my point, Ton, that's exactly why they need us. I think the Wall Street boys suggested they use us. They know how to use pretty good.

TS: So what's the deal Sal? They'd need to put us on a retainer? We can't work for cheap on this one. We can't do any collecting afterwards like we used to. We need some real money up front. And in Cas"Tell you the truth, I would prefer Euros.

S: No problem. They were going to use that Blackfriars Group, I mean Blackriver, Blackwater". something like that".But they are too hot now. Rubbed out too many guys. So they want someone no one would think they had working for them.

TS: Clever. Usually, I don't like ratting but this is really for our country, isn't it. A lot of people are suffering with this bummer in the economy, thanks to all those mergers and Wiseguys in the suites. They know how to earn. We could learn from them.

It sounds like they want to merge with us now.

S: Exactly, Tony, exactly. Here's a chance to make some money and do some good.
