Is my questions about Frank Nitti too sexually leading? I'm trying to understand the mind of a Gangster from that era. It always puzzled me why people with money and influence seem to allow themselves to be used, abused, and punked by women they know from the start, only want to use and discard them. Exchanging them like a pair of worn out shoes. You see the same behavior nowadays. Most of the women carry infectious diseases that they spread then use to put men against men, while they make off like a bandit.
