Not starting a "i don't believe it" thread. I think they are. Just was interested to look at it from a different perspective. Perhaps to see why we know so little about the outfit. What's different?

How do we know so much about the Genovese? How do we know they are so powerful? Where does the info come from?

Thoughts?


Activity leads to indictments and arrests, which we read about. The more activity, the more there is to read about. The less activity, the less there is to read about. Which is why we hear most about the NY families. And after them, we hear the most about families in New England, Philadephia, or Chicago. And it's why there isn't a lot of information of mob activity out of places like Pittsburgh, Tampa, St. Louis, or LA.
