NY prosecutors examining the Trump Organization seem to be treating it like it's run by mobsters.
Similar to mob organizations, the Trump Org is run by family members who prosecutors want to "flip."
Prosecutors could seek racketeering charges, used in both organized crime and business contexts.
When Donald Trump built Trump Tower in New York, he made an unusual decision.
He wanted to build with concrete, when in the 1970s and 1980s large steel beams built the skeletons of most skyscrapers. To supply the massive amount of concrete needed, he paid inflated prices to a company run by Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno and Paul Castellano, the respective heads of the Genovese and Gambino crime families. Trump and Salerno shared a personal lawyer, Roy Cohn, at the time.
