Just like modern day gangs, they were largely involved in the illegal alcohol trade. they would also often take advantage of businesses charging fees them for protection and operating on their turf (the Italian Mafia owned a large variety of restaurants and stores, and the ones they didn't own they bullied into paying them). Allot of crime families even went into legit business while still working underground. Sometimes they would even associate with and corrupt the people in government positions to ensure safety from getting caught. With mafia in control of the law they could press down on rival mafias with continuous raids and the shutting down of businesses for no reason at all. With such a wide span of influence the mafia had, it was impossible for them not to make money. If something failed they had 10 other things to fall back on.
