i am all for lively debate....obviously you guys are centered on the five families that control new york and the surrounding areas....
since i am rambling....
the point i was trying to make is this...the one family that is outside of new york...has never suffered the... "rats/turncoats"..."bloodshed" that has decimated the traditional families over the years..they have always stayed under the radar cept for jfk conspiracy theories..
this family has controlled politics for decades...(just like the traditional 5)...gambling...real eastate ect..when casino gambling was legalized throughout the south...the biggest gambling boom every...(before the vegas corporations came in)....they owned it...
like i said... post hurricane katrina construction...you think new york city has $$$ in construction contracts??..again they own it..
the simple fact that the reason most of you discount them as powerful is plain and simple...they have never had the infamous reputation of the five families...because they chose to make money... not news....out of site out of mind i guess....
the family is named after carlos marcello..
current estimates put their numbers at only a handful...and that is quite alright with them....
jmo...
ivyleague that means --just my opinion...;)
There is absolutely no truth in what you said above. The New Orleans family is all but extinct. It was never a big family, even at it's peak. Marcello kept it relatively small on purpose. By the early 1990's, when he died, the FBI had the family near extinction anyway. Mobsters from New York were caught on tape talking about how the Marcello family was finished. That's when the last remnants of the family partnered with the Gambino and Genovese families in that video gambling racket that got busted up. Marcello's sons, if any of them are still alive, were left a lot of money and real estate but that doesn't equate to a viable crime family. Beyond that, there might be one or two remaining members left. Come here with the facts. Not with made up fantasy about a dead crime family making millions off legalized gambling and Katrina contracts.
