This was a telling expose’ by VICE Asia about the Yakuza. Despite what some may believe they are not good guys at all. As the cover story presented they operate crimes such as child pornography, sex trafficking, human trafficking and so on.

In my line of work I’ve known individuals who were ,Sex Trafficked, by the Yakuza… don’t let the media portrayal fool you they are NO Gentlemen, they are violent they are predators and perpetrators all the way with little to no moral code. They’re horrible criminals that are never to be upheld in any regard. As one former Yakuza boss said, “I have absolutely no nostalgia for life as a Yakuza. In the old days yes, there was this idea that Yakuza were gentlemen who helped the weak and fought the strong. But time has gone by and now it’s all about money. Money is everything.”

Such criminals as if it can’t be gauged by their eyes have 0 affinity for anything. They feel nothing, they are empty as can be, stone cold hardened criminals with little to no regard for human life. They are not noble characters nor virtuous in any respect. Doing a deal with such criminals is making a deal with the devil essentially and the documentary really conveyed that fact. They exist to make money nothing more. Anyone like that can never be trusted nor thought of as more honorable than are. Anything they do or don’t do is based on self interest always expecting a payment. It is wise to never exchange with those kind in any way, accept nothing from them especially as a Girl or Woman because they’re going to seek something back usually sex trade related. When the former boss interviewed said they are “Scum balls” they’re scum balls. There’s a memoir turned film about a Yakuza’s daughter titled ,Yakuza Moon, also called ,Lady Yakuza. I’ve written on her before.

Her life was not moonbeams and rainbows. Her Yakuza Father was in no way doting nor did he shield her from that life. Quite the opposite. As with any criminal syndicate Women really have no place nor standing in it. They just exist and often face abuse. Matter of fact her Father beat her bloody over small things like school matters and I believe he beat her Mother as well. Her life like most children that come up in that atmosphere was violent, harsh, full of abuse, and exploitation. It is by God she is alive honestly.
