"Mafia boss used crocodile to extort money"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/09/24/italy.mafia.crocodile/index.html
This article just makes me laugh. Alright, really it's not that funny, but the concept is rather comical. Apparently an Italian mafia boss named Antonio Cristofaro decided to take his extortion and manipulation to a new, more exotic level. The method: your average crocodile capable of pulling off a man's limb with one bite. I'm sensing the threat would go something like this: "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse: pay me more money, or face the wrath of my voracious, limb-tearing crocodile." Sounds pretty effective to me.
In case you're somehow involved in the mafia, don't worry, Cristofaro is being charged with possession of illegal animals, and his bullying beast is now being held at a animal center in Rome.
