"Organised crime" is a bit of a oxymoron.

These people are organised in that they make deals with each other in friend networks. But the people involved are not the sharpest knives in the draw. They get their positions via violence and intimidation more than cunning and planning.

There are cleaver crooks, but we do not often hear from them. A lot of them work at Wall Street, which contains the biggest and most profitable criminal gangs



The cleverest crooks are in Capitol Hill and Downing Street and Brussels, not Wall Street.


I think we probably disagree on "cleaver"!
