Japan cracked down on Yakuza hard. They’re a shell of their former organizations.

Just like Costra Nostra, don't think gokudō is dead and gone. ...They didn't die off, they just adapted to the times.

An assessment of Jake Adelstein by the world's best yakuza experts. "Not only do they misrepresent the yakuza, they make themselves into the heroes of crime novels and start telling the world that they are yakuza experts. It is tedious, time-consuming, and frequently causes trouble. I have learned the hard way that my name and work are often used to enhance the credibility of this work."
