> ...something the mob would cook up together with crooked politicians...
It's Chicago. The crooked politicians are their own mob. Vice crime may be contracted out to the local gangs, but the rackets are kept strictly in-house.
That way, when you want to buy a senate seat, there's no pesky middleman in the way to jack up prices. You can just go straight to the governor and hand him an envelope of cash under the table.
