Can We Blame the Mafia on Lemons?

Organized crime consists of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals who intend to engage in illegal activity, most commonly for money and profit. Some criminal organizations, such as terrorist groups, are politically motivated. Sometimes criminal organizations force people to do business with them, such as when a gang extorts money from shopkeepers for so-called "protection".

And while citrus hardly seems like a black market commodity, plenty of blood was spilled in Silicy over it.

TTFN, Fred.
