ndrangheta is too weak in the states to surpass local cosa nostra, if somebody should do it are the sicilian zips who are about 3000 according to fbi, but i think the 5 families will be still alive in 30 years


Surpass in power not in numbers. The ndrine are more secretive than american mafia; they need 7 ndranghetisti to form a ndrina and 7 ndrine to form a locale.
Maybe they are making money in the shadows in NY and LE ignore them.
