The thing is the families outside of NYC mostly historically have kept it small.
As we all know some due to edict set by the commission some by design.

That is the reason they generally have not been plagued with as many rats.

A lot of inter marriage or life long relationships.

Every time the admin opens the books they put themselves at risk of dying in jail.

As I said with Buffalo LCN, the. BEST PUBLICITY MONEY COULD BUY were those articles that came out saying that LCN was all done.

No more Buffalo LCN, squad etc.

A lot of these old times have accumulated some wealth so they do not need to be on the street
Lending $1,000.00 to some dead beat, that when he does not pay and he is threatened. he runs to L.E.

They do not need to mess with drugs anymore.

They have legit income and have buffers so they are layers removed really the way it always should have been.
