We don't know how big these gambling cases were though. The FBI is known to exaggerate the size of gambling operations. A few years ago the Philly mob had a gambling operation at the Borgata that was busted, the FBI claimed it was a billion dollar operation! It probably wasn't one-tenth that.
You're talking about some gambling busts up in New York. The highest estimate for the Philly/Borgata gambling bust was about $60 million taken in bets over a 20 month period.
