Nobody said anything about organized crime. You just have to look at the way the restaurant industry is run. Batali's restaurant group itself was just in the middle of a tip skimming issue - it settled so we can argue the merits (or not), but I have to wonder how much of the $5 is left by the time it gets to the front lines.
