Okay, thanks Furio. I find it hard to believe they're weaker than the Bonanno's and the Luchese's though. Maybe ten years ago, but now in my opinion those two are behind the Columbo's. Bonanno's Boss turned informant wrecking the families leadership and rackets. The Luchese's suffered huge arrests in gambling and drugs. The Columbo's have quietly rebuilt and seem to me under the radar and under valued have made them stronger. keep in mind I'm not saying bigger, just saying possibly stronger and more stable. The family ties and the fact I don't think ANY family wants to go against them violence wise.
