Then there is no business like the Internet. Never before were your chances as good to make real money, and to get away with it. I will elaborate on this later.
But first on why this article was written. I do not normally write advice for criminals. My mainstay as author is advice on sexual enhancement and sexual opportunities. This is where I have considerable expertise. Please see my domain www.SexualEnhancement.org for further information.
I also have considerable experience publishing on the Internet. I used to be a newspaper and TV journalist in Germany, but I decided at around age 30 that I have only one life to live, and that Southeast Asia offers superior opportunities when one's prime concern is sexual relationships. They are the only endeavor worth living for.
So I moved to Southeast Asia, giving up a promising career, and switched to writing travel guides (in the form of printed books). But who needs printed books when you get more comprehensive information on the Internet.
But who pays for travel information on the Internet? Too much free-access sites cover that topic.
Like everybody else, I am under pressure to generate income. Not a huge amount of income. I am not as greedy as your average mafia boss. I don't need a Ferrari, not even a Porsche. I'd feel an idiot in croc leather shoes. I don't wear heavy rings (actually no rings), and I'm certainly not a compulsive consumer.
A compulsive writer, if anything.
OK, I had cosmetic surgery because I don't like to look my age (which would be a handicap when pursuing sexual relationships), and not, repeat not, because I would be on the run from law enforcement or real mafiosi.
Like everybody else, I have an ambivalent relationship to law and order. I am only more aware than others of this ambivalence.
Like everybody else, I am in favor of capital punishment for those criminals who victimize me. And I am in favor of leniency if one of my sons has committed a crime. (That poor boy, he actually has a good heart.)
I myself have no inclination towards a criminal career. While I am not rich, I am doing well enough (that is: better than my male surrounding, which preserves my competitive edge).
You are reading this article on my domain MafiaBoss.net or on one of my other sites were this article is mirrored. I assume that primarily, mafia bosses read this article. Anyway, it is written for them.
Listen, boys, I don't think you are to be admired. You may have your share of chutzpa, otherwise you would not have risen above the ranks, but I am genuinely convinced that there are no clever criminals.
It's not clever to make money, and then be hunted. Too many restrictions on enjoying life. It's much cleverer to make money honestly. You're a mafia boss because you are lacking in qualification to be a genuine successful businessman.
But most probably you're beyond reform. But if you do care to listen to some of my recommendations, then hear this: it's much smarter to steal people's money on the Internet than it is to do it via abducting children for ransom. It's also much less risky.
I know it from experience (not as a criminal but as a crime victim).
And I have (suffered myself) the perfect scheme to remove money from peoples' bank accounts, and to channel it into the pocket of some mafia boss, without ever being detected.
For example, you could set up a website that looks like the website of a bank, or of an Internet payment processor. Then send mass email that looks as if it comes from this bank. Request people to log into their accounts by clicking a link within the mass mail you sent. The link goes to your site that looks like the bank's site, not to the real login page of the bank. Voila, you have the login name and password of the bank customer, and thus access to his account. If the account is enabled for Internet based transactions, then you can proceed. (Since the first version of this article, the above scheme has become rather commonplace).
Where transfer the money? Of course, not to your own personal account. Just set up an anonymous account with e-gold.com or another payment transaction facilitator that works the same way. Register a fictitious address in Romania or Ruanda. Once the money is on that account, transfer it to another e-gold.com account, which is also anonymous but registered with an address in Argentina or, why not, Afghanistan. From there to the Congo, or the Philippines. With e-gold, you can channel money easily through a hundred alleged accounts within an hour.
After such an odyssey, withdraw to a genuine bank account in a Third World country. E-gold.com could trace the money only theoretically. And if the victim wants to trace himself, he will need a court decision of every country (through which the money has allegedly been channeled) to force e-gold.com to reveal in whose name the alleged account is registered. No victim will go a distance of three countries, even if the money lost ranges in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There are other schemes to steal other people's money over the Internet. If you are willing to think big enough, you can set up your own payment processing site, either similar to e-gold.com, or similar to WorldPay, 2Checkout, or PaySystems. At a time of your choosing, you go out of business, and you can make certain that you end up with a substantial part of what you have collected on behalf of customers.
I personally have lost money when it has been removed from an e-gold.com account, with e-gold.com telling me quite frankly that the chances of recovery are so minim that I better consider not wasting my time and resources on related efforts. However, I have lost much higher amounts through payment processors. With Ginix, I ended up with less than 20 percent of what they owed me. For more on payment processors, please see my site www.payment-processor-ranking.com.
The point is, if you're a mafia boss, there is no business like the Internet. Easy access to other people's money, low risk of detection, and then, if ever, only lenient punishment; all of this with potentially huge rewards.
