Japan's Largest Private Equity Firm? The Mob

if the yakuza are getting out of drugs and prostitution to become day traders, the profit margins in drugs and prostitution must have fallen to near zero.

BTW I am wondering what is the competitive advantage for a trader moving over to a yakuza controlled firm. Do such firms have better pension plans or benefits than "legitimate" firms? If you make a mistake writing up a ticket do they cut off your pinkie? Presumably Japanese headhunting firms (now that's an interesting pun) would have the answers.
