Pass this test and join the Gang/Mafia

Lawsuits in these times have started to impact even yakuza gangs . Enough to conduct written tests for new recruits in order to reduce the action on gang bosses for the doings of people down the totem pole.  This is an article in The Daily Manichi News:  Just take a look at the Final Answer - seems they are no different from us.

Yakuza group forcing members to take 'gangster exam'


OTSU -- Japan's largest and most notorious organized crime group, the Yamaguchi-gumi, is forcing members to take a "gangster exam" in order to reduce costly damages suits, police have discovered.



An affiliate based in Shiga Prefecture is distributing written tests on the revised Anti-Organized Crime Law, which allows higher-ranking gang members to be sued for the actions of their subordinates, as a preventative measure against future lawsuits. Police believe the test has been introduced by Yamaguchi-gumi groups across the country.



Police first discovered the test during an investigation of a member of the affiliate. A 12-question exam paper, complete with model answers, was among the items confiscated.



Questions included "What kind of activities are banned?" with "dumping industrial waste; bootlegging fuel; theft of construction vehicles and other expensive items; phone fraud scams" etc. listed as the correct answers.



The model answer to the final question, "What are you required to do in all your activities?" was: "report and consult with my bosses."
