More than 100 alleged mobsters arrested East Coast sweep

More than 100 suspected members of 6 different mafia families have been arrested. the FBI described this as the biggest organized crime round-up in New York history. Significant leaders of the Gambino, Genovese, Lucchese, Bonanno and Colombo families and also the DeCavalcante of New Jersey were arrested. Officials said that the charges range from murder to extortion, narcotics trafficking and illegal gambling. Hundreds of FBI officials, NYPD officers, state police and U.S. marshals were involved in the operation.

i am glad that all of these mobsters were arrested so people wont get killed or hurt anymore for a while. i  am kind curious why the mobsters would want to join a mob or gang.
