    Usually "mob" refers to organizations with more diversified activities, traditionally including prostitusion, drugs, racketeering.

    I do not see any reference in the OA to other criminal activities.

    I would not even call it a "gang", which is now reserved to groups united not only by the trade, but also some ideological hocum on top of it.

    It's just a small criminal organization, that's it.
