How can you claim that it rivals New York in size? New York has 5 families, if you combine them to control the city, there would be over 1000 made guys and thousands of associates. There is NOTHING west of the Mississippi any longer. Oh Yeah, the Feds have it all wrong--moron!!! How can the Feds be "all" wrong? They have mopre money, power and undercover agents on the street--If they had it all wrong, none of those "clowns" from Chicago would be in prison. The mafia is declining pal, not growing. Wake up and smell the tomatoes!
