You keep making these pronouncements like they're facts and that everyone should just take your word for it. Never mind you actually supporting your claims with evidence or at least something beyond, "I live in Chicago" or "I'm 100% Sicilian."

In terms of both size (by estimates) and activity (shown by news and indictments) Chicago is comparable to other smaller remaining families outside of New York. New England or Philadelphia for example.

This same criteria shows the Gambinos, not the Outfit, to be #2. And though it may burst your bubble, the same criteria also shows the rest of the NY families would come before the Outfit at this point.

Remember, we're talking about the Chicago Outfit in 2012. Not 1952.
