How many people to you trust enough...

[DainBramaged]

Say that you want to start a professional criminal enterprise. Organized crime of some type or other, be it bank robbery or a more complicated scheme.

How many people would you trust enough let them join your gang?

My friends are not the criminal type despite my unwavering trust.

I think a better question would be how many I would call upon to help with avenging the violent murder of my wife and kids. That requires SERIOUS trust and includes some motivation for the generally law abiding types.

 

[cubeless]

none...

you trust no one and just use them as required...

and why would you share the joy of whacking 'violent' murgerers with anyone else? you won't get the opportunity very often, savor it yourself...

I don't trust anyone.

 

[Vegitto]

There are three people that I would trust with anything and everything. Those three.

 

[Cogman]

0, I wouldn't want the people I trust a lot to be in the gang. There is a reason I trust them.

If you ever have a chance to catch the show "Masterminds" you see why.

lol, there is a reason for the saying " No honor among thieves"...
and "Three can keep a secret if two are dead."

none, I would do it all alone.

 

[JakwoW]

Not including family members . . . 1 or 2. Not certain because each of my friends have loyalties that outweigh their loyalty to me.

Good question.

 

[Perknose]

This is a truly stupid question.

Anyone who would willingly join me or anyone else in a criminal enterprise is not someone I would trust as far as I could spit.

Uncle Sam not payin enough Dain? Looking for ways to increase your income?

Howz Monterey?

There are a few people I trust enough, but only one I think would be interested and competent. If I'm getting involved in crime, I'm not teaming up with trustworthy imbeciles.

 

[Evadman]

Are you joking? If they said yes I couldn't trust them anyway.

 

[jjones]

Only my 7 year old daughter. We're constantly cooking up criminal mischief to perpetrate against her mother.

good post.

my friends are not criminals. but i know 2-3 that would break the laws if the justice system failed in something like child molestation and glady except the consequences.

I think that this quote sums it up:

Neil McCauley: A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move, how do you expect to keep a... a marriage?

The same thing applies to friends. If you can't leave them in...then you aren't ready to commit a crime. And if they can leave you, the will also roll on you to save themselves.

Zero.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Zero. Most people are too weak minded to do true evil.

I think the first 6 minutes of Dark Knight is a very good example of how to do a heist without having to split the loot.

That's petty crime; they were knocking over a bank. OK, that's not really petty crime, but it's a one time thing. Look at the Mafia; career criminals who build empires on racketeering, gambling, drugs, etc. There's a code of ethics, there's appropriate behavior, and they don't squeal (or they get whacked).

To say that all criminals have to fend for themselves is no more true than of any other profession. You just need to right sort of people around, and most of the right sort of people don't go into crime.
