Exactly Turnbull!...NEVER gonna happen. NO way! NO how!

The mob isn't even that cohesive nowadays. And you also need to remember WHY the various bosses would periodically meet up in the first place. Don't lose sight of that.

It was because of their mutual racket interests that overlapped, that they needed to coordinate with one another. Examples; International liquor smuggling and wholesale distribution throughout various borders and states (during Prohibition); international narcotics traffic that they smuggled over the borders and coordinated through various territories controlled by fellow bosses; the 1940s-1950s nationwide expansion of the jukebox and coin-machine business that had exploded in popularity; horse-race results "wire services" that ran from California to New York (and nearly every state in-between) to help bookmaking operations; interstate truck and cargo hijacking; the national Teamsters, Longshoremen's, Laborers, and Restaurant & Bartenders Unions (to name but a few) that required the cooperation of fellow "Families;" Etc., etc., etc.

Today? There are no such operations happening. Certainly not on the grand scale as in years before. So tell me, why the hell would any of them (even if they could, which they can't) want, of even need, to meet one another?

There is NO such cooperation today! And with the sophisticated law enforcement technologies available to the FBI and other government agencies, there is NO way the remaining families (many of whom are already on a respirator) could pull it off without LE scrutiny, even if they wanted to!

And thats a well-worn fact! Despite the false narratives that some people on these forums would like to advance.
