In this scenario (not getting into if its true or not) logically the "mafia" would want to get 7 % in successful companies, and the key to that success is to influence everyone else not invest in anything they reject, which means less competition/resources to their portfolio. This makes life harder if you never applied so you are kind of forced to apply and be forced to pay "protection" even if you may not like it.

More powerful a mafia is, more likely their rejection dooms your venture, making it more likely you would be okay with deal even if terms are not too favorable.
