The yakuza is weird in general. Like, the Japanese police have annual, semi-official events where they "lose" a bunch of documents they have on smaller crimes in exchange for the yakuza ratting out members they don't like. The whole Japanese approach to organized crime is bizarre.
The US has fully official events like that called plea bargins. Not much different really, just the style of organization and formality of the process.
