But still they are listed on 10th place in a list of strongest mafia groups. Can you post that list out? Cheers.

Its not like they are falling apart, they still make millions a year from various rackets. 5 Families did not emerge in one night, nor will they be gone in one night. It took a decade to build, and it will take much more work than that to destroy the Colombos. Besides, its not in the interest of the remaining families to let the Colombos sink. I could not agree more. The other families will have joint ventures and depend on the Colombo's. I strongly agree with Mukermin more. IMO the Colombo's are far from over. They are paying for the inter family war back in the 90's. This will pass and they will regroup. IMO

Lists of "the most powerful whatever" get put out all the time. Not that they're official or anything. Ranking organized crime groups isn't like ranking tennis players.
As for the Colombos, they're far from finished. But there are several posters on certain forums who like to engage in endless hyperbole regarding the Colombo family; referring to them as a "sinking ship" and whatnot. If somebody who was not familiar with the mob was to read what some of these guys say on a regular basis, they'd think the Colombos were 6 months away from being defunct. Even though that's not the case. The Colombos may be the smallest and most geographically confined family in New York but they're still much larger and stronger than any remaining family outside the city. this is true but im hesitant to say more than the Outfit only because even today not much is known about them, for all we know they could be chugging along raking in cash with no real probs since family secrets besides sarno going to the can that family is still for the most part out the headlines
Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife? Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.

Donnie Shacks is still in California. Charlie Moose was charge in the Operating Engineers case that involved the Genovese and Colombo families a while back. Ivy, would you considered Donnie Shacks active for the Colombo? Or is he allowed to retire with to pursue the enterprise of making C grade movies and dating size zero girlfriends?
