Ever since 2011, things have been getting rougher and rougher for members of organized crime groups in Japan. That was when a law was passed prohibiting companies from entering into contracts with any known member.

Just plain unfair, guys.

Are we sure these laws weren't made by them to discourage leaving?

    Poor person joins a criminal organization because of lack of opportunities.

    Government "oh yeah, we are going to limit your opportunities harder."

    Basically they have stay in the organization or leave the country.
