Liked the movie a lot. I guess my point was, in my opinion, the reason she was shaken down was because at that point in time she had switched to running an illegal game via taking a rake. She couldn't just go to the cops and say "hey a couple of mobsters are looking for a piece of my illegal card game".
I'm curious what legitimate avenues are available to business owners who are running entirely legal, but mostly cash businesses, who get shaken down. By legitimate I mean even if you go to the cops, will that force you to have to move and/or shut down your business? If so, I don't necessarily consider it a legit option.
