The mob's biggest enemy isn't the FBI, it's the mob itself. Most of its wounds are self-inflicted. The 1990s Colombo War stands out in my mind the most. Vic & Gaspipe tearing the Luccheses apart due to paranoia. Same thing with Nicky Scarfo and the Philly mob. John Gotti and his love affair with the media. The 1980s Commission Trial did some damage, but the Families were still strong, it was the bozos that succeeded them, Chin Gigante and Joe Massino being the exception. Carmine Persico should've let Vic Orena have the reigns. John Gotti should've only conducted business on walk-and-talks and whispered while inside. Joe Massino had a great run, but he made some boneheaded mistakes as boss as well. This is why the mob is weak.
