So then we started mobbing, etc

Yep. Doesn't matter which mob, I'll roll with it.

taking a house that's a gift from the mob is like letting a child molester watch your kids because he offered to do it for free. one if there giving you a house theirs stings attached you don't see, and will cost you more than you want to pay. two the money for the house wasn't earned it was taken in a foul way from others.
