In your research, have you found any American mobsters who can compare in terms of money brought in during the pizza connection era? DEA agent Frank Panessa said that he knew of one group that brought $1 million a day into one small apartment in New York.
Pizza connection was huge drug trafficking operation, nothing brings money like drugs. You also can't compare US & Italian mafia families , in Italy , especially South Italy , they have control and influence on almost all aspects of life , they are earning money on literally everything.
