Cyber-crime, identify theft—organized crime is becoming ever more sophisticated. But have things really changed that much? In the end, it’s still all about the money.

The families in New York, Chicago, LA and other big US cities are still formidable, but things are certainly stirring north of the border. It’s just possible that there’s more going on in Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton than the general public knows about. Let’s hope that twenty-first-century law enforcement is on top of the situation.
