We have seen there we any a mafia movie or two but I would have never thought
that in today’s world mob gangster still run the streets. What I am referring to
is the Yakuza a notorious Japanese mafia. The Yakuza life style has been well
documented because unlike in America organized crime is legal. The Yakuza have
taken mentality of a samurai and implanted it in the mind of a mobster. Not only
do Yakuza have the mindset of the mafia but they also have the money, power, and
respect. Yakuza boss Tadamasa Goto needed liver transplant since liver
transplants are not available in Japan Goto came to the U.S. Getting liver
transplant takes up three years to get through the waiting list but not for
Tadamasa Goto. He pays little over 1 million dollars in cash to get his
procedure done in approximately 6 weeks. Goto payee his way though immigration
and the FBI. Yakuza are no joke they have a lot of money and resources. Tadamasa
Goto has put hit out on Jake Adelstein the man who released the information
about the Yakuza even after they offered him half a million dollars to keep his
mouth shut.
