Organized Crime

I also posted this on BGG, but didn't get any good answers yet. So maybe people from BGA can chip in.

Has anyone found a good use for Organized Crime?
After playing on BGA for a while, I haven't found yet a good situation for it. Nor have I seen my opponents 'rush' for it.

I like to try and find different paths to win centered on different card / token combos, but this one hasn't given me a lot to work with
Especially when you compare it to Corruption, which can be very strong on heavy senator recruitment and going for a political victory.

Maybe it helps the discussion to provide the description of these conspiracies:

Organized Crime
When you Conspire, keep both Conspiracy cards drawn and place them face down in front of you.

Corruption
From now on, you recruit all Senators (Politicians and Conspirators) for free.

Organized Crime would have been more beneficial if you don't have to prepare the conspiracies anymore... now I find it too much effort.

(just my opinion...): No, from my experience it's trash - don't use it. it might be worse sometimes to have organized crime then to not have it (blocking enemy's choices with a trash black card is usually quite valuable)

That's a shame.

Since posting this I had one game where it was ok. I was lucky to get Organized crime early and even luckier to draw 4 conspiracies that suited that game perfectly. So it saved me 2 actions. Overall this one seems too situational and very luck dependent.
