really? it's seem too much, if it's true the mafia is still very strong in the states


That may have been referring to the combined profits of the 4 major crime syndicates in Italy - Cosa Nostra, 'Ndrangheta, Camorra, and Sacra Corona Unita - not the U.S. mob. More recent estimates have been even higher.

Personally, I take all estimates regarding OC profits with a big dump truck of salt. Even the official figures often don't agree and are all over the place.


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