I think that's overstating things. Yes, Gravano did a lot of damage to the Gambino family, as well as some additional damage to the other families. But it's not really accurate to single one rat out as "the final wrecking ball" that knocked the LCN out.

If we're using that analogy, the LCN is still standing, albeit severely weakened and crumbling. And the wrecking ball would be a combination of general attrition and RICO hitting it over and over again. But it's a slow process. And is still going on.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
