Nick: The short answer is... No one? But the longer answer is...well, it's really complicated. Mr. Big stepped down mostly because the birth of his grandchildren caused him to have a sort of...crisis of morals, as well as partially due to the influence of one somewhat well known police bunny.
Judy: I'm glad he reformed. It...doesn't exactly excuse his previous crimes, but...
Nick: Those cases are too old to prosecute at this point. To be honest, much of Mr. Big's really...extreme criminal activities started to die down when Fru-Fru got older. Becoming a parent made him soft, something which happened to Koslov as well...
Judy: I wish that happened with every crime boss...
Nick: Anyway, Big was basically the sole crime boss in Tundra town. Once he stepped down it led to an almost immediate power vacuum. The only problem is, most of the guys who tried to step up to the plate to fill the gap didn't have what it took to stay there. They'd either be terrible at covering their tracks, and find themselves arrested with iron-clad evidence, or they'd meet a grisly end by the paws of one of the other district's known criminal gangs which had all been fighting to carve out portions of Mr. Big's Empire for themselves since he had stepped down. Granted none of them have been able to get a proper foothold on the area probably due to a combination of ZPD efforts, and that the other districts gang's are very species specific, and...aren't suited for sticking their necks out in tundra town for long periods of time.
Judy: So for the most part, Tundratown has remained largely free of any real organized crime efforts. And we here at the ZPD intend to keep it that way!
Nick: Well I mean... Tundratown isn't exactly our primary beat...But hey, at the very least we'll be on top of the Antelonellie Gang in Savannah Square...
Judy: Well...gotta start somewhere, right?
Nick: *Chuckles* Of course Carrots...
