Also the Genovese Family was allies with many other families outside of the N.Y.C./N.J. area that helped keep the Genovese envelopes full by there Power and by going into rackets with other families who were there allies in which they provided what the other couldnt such as political influence,investement$$,muscle,etc. The Genovese from what i can see had more LCN allies then any other LCN family.?
That's true. Back in the day the Genovese represented a number of the east coast families on the Commission, as well as the Cleveland and Detroit families from the midwest. They also had close ties to Chicago and even had an official position of "il messaggero" who's duties, among others, included acting as a messenger between the Genovese family and the Outfit. They had the closest ties to the Irish and Jewish groups in the early years and today are said by law enforcement to have the closest ties to other groups like the Russians, Cubans, etc.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
