A "NEW LOW" FOR THE GAMBINOS?

Looks like things aren't going too well for the Gambino family these days. From the NY Daily News:

Mafia hits 'new low': Reputed Gambino mobsters charged with running Craigslist teen prostution ring

But an interstate sex-trafficking ring was a new one for prosecutors.

"No crime seems too depraved to be exploited if it was a moneymaker, including the sexual exploitation of a 15-year-old," added FBI Special Agent in Charge George Venizelos.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called it "a new low."

Just when most people think the mafia is on its last legs, it branches out into new territories.
