Regardless of the business entity or activity that people engage in, in every facet of life, there are always winners and losers. Some guys have a solid knack for business and a ‘”Midas-touch,” so to speak, who are very good at both creating successful new businesses and keeping existing businesses afloat with a bottom line solidly in the black. Other guys are so business savvy and astute in legitimate business that nearly everything they touch turns to gold.
Life in the mob is no different.

The winners and losers also become more easily identified and stand out as time goes on by certain key benchmarks on how these knock-around guys end up in life, both good and bad.
