Does the mob really do stuff like "if you don't gimma back my 50k by thursday, you're dead"?

Cause I mean, it's pretty much a good way to lose 50k, having to kill a guy, clean up, dispose of the body and not get caught. Which is a serious pain in the ass.

Kind of a stupid way to do business when you think about it.

Don't they have payment plans and shit?

How does the mob collect?

A dead man can't pay you back.

They would probably kill family members first.

I dunno if they'd do it to every person, but they gotta make an example of someone or no one would take them seriously, so yeah I'd suspect they do say stuff like that (and follow through) sometimes.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Never made much sense to me either. i guess it's a good way to get money out of people who have it, but only if you know they will follow through on your threat. But if you don't have the money, and you kill they guy, he will never pay you back. Maybe they just like killing people.

Breaking some legs seems like it would be more effective.

I'm guessing OP owes 50k to the mob by Thursday.

I think there's an element of truth to it, I mean they ARE hardened criminals but a lot of it is over exemplified by Hollywood and cable television.

It's a strong arm tactic.
They instill fear in you and then down the road threaten you.
You play into the fear and end up paying them back.
They surely will break your legs and threaten to harm your family.
Loan sharking is a common practice but most people pay out.
The Mob/mafia tend to only really kill as pay back for snitching or to take a position of power.
The NY metro area is swarming with Irish and Italian gangsters

Maybe they do it to a guy that owes them 10k, a relitively low amount to lose to show the example to those who owe more? Then again, still, killing them = losing money

And organized crime gains a majority of their money now from infiltrating Company's and Unions and skimming disability and pension funds along with selling illegal guns and drugs.

i might interpret it as symbolism for hollywood's sake.

i would imagine the mob doing all sorts of stuff like, making sure a guy never gets a job.  paying people to hang out around a guy and offer to sell him bad/cyut drugs n stuff.  get a gay guy to hang around him and turn him gay.  spread rumors about the guy and make sure he never gets laid.  pay hookers to hang around the guy and sleep with him and give him an STD.

all sorts of stuff...  i get paranoid though, and think about this stuff happening to me all the time, lolol

I imagine it's more difficult to get a loan from sharks than just asking for it.  Movies make it look easy to get under with unlikeable types but I feel like anyone in that business worth their salt wouldn't lend to someone who couldn't pay it back in some fashion.

Usually you'd have to some how be affiliated with those type of individuals to acquire a loan.
And they don't just hand out a loan for say a car, but things such as business capital that way they can be sure to reap the profits in order to be paid back or they'll jewish lightning the place.

I'm sure they check your finance for some collateral or something.

Basically people just ask for a loan for their drugs to sell. If they get stolen the gang does something else for you to repay their debt. Like talk to crazy people or try to sell in enemy turf. If you've seen the millers then you've seen how some can get stuck trafficking drugs across borders

You would lose power in what you say.
For exmaple, if you said you were going to kill "Bob" if he didn't have the money by a week and he ended up not having it. People wouldn't think you meant business if you let him go or gave him another week.
