From the Paper:

"A bank finds out that its largest account holder has been laundering money into international accounts for months. That bank may be the victim of organized crime. A drug deal out of Florida turns up 100 kilos of cocaine that was supposed to be shipped across America. This was most likely the work of organized crime. A businessman walking down the street is shot through the head with a single bullet, and police later discover he was preparing double sets of books for one of his accounting clients. This man may have been the victim of organized crime."
