The global recession is really hitting hard, at every level of society. Out-of-work gangsters of the Yakuza, Japan's most notorious gang, are livid over the repercussions of their move away from the instability of drugs, gambling, and prostitution, to legitimate business. The gang's investment in high finance has resulted in heavy losses and now the higher ups in the Yakuza are making some major cuts. Sound familiar? Accomplished gangsters, some with management positions and decades of service under their belt, are finding themselves out on the streets and unqualified for the work force. The once revered and exclusive gang has become subject to the economic downturn and is being downsized just like the rest of us. Isn't life funny that way? I suggest extra work; Hollywood just can't get enough of Japanese gangsters.
