mobster

A mobster is a member of organized crime syndicates or gangs involved in illicit activities such as extortion, gambling, drug trafficking, and money laundering. These individuals often operate covertly to avoid law enforcement and maintain control over their illegal enterprises. Historically associated with groups like the Mafia or racketeering organizations, mobsters use intimidation, bribery, and violence to protect their interests and expand their influence. While they can be charismatic leaders within their groups, their roles are primarily rooted in criminal enterprise and illicit operations, often leading to significant legal and societal consequences.
