In terms of size, activity, etc., the Chicago Outfit is comparable to the New England or Philadelphia families. I'm talking about the modern day Outfit. Not the Outfit of the 1950's, which you and some others apparently think still exists. Much to the chagrin of several Chicago posters on these forums, this thinking that the Chicago mob is on the same level of the NY families is outdated. Furthermore, you even said yourself that you don't know much about other cities. So how can you say what compares to Chicago and what doesn't?
