EXCERPT FROM MEESE REPORT:

 

Another individual who was the owner and operator of an "adult" bookstore and spent many years in the pornography business described his experience in dealing with organized crime:

 

• Interviewer: ... If the mob says, "I do not want this, boy"?:

   

• Subject: You don't sell it. Even if they don't even talk to you. You're not going to sell it nowhere. If you go to the store on 14th street and put it in there, they're gonna bust his ass. Or they're gonna break your legs when you start going through them. There was a man who went from New York City ... went into Atlanta. Had films to sell ... They found him at the airport, with a $5,000 Rolex watch on and about eight grand in his pocket, and four rolls of film in his hands, with his head blown up in the trunk of his car. Nobody robbed him, nobody took a dime off him. They didn't even take the film. But he was at the airport with a New York ticket shoved in his coat pocket. Don't come down from New York, selling unless you've been sent down.[1131]
