Going back to why the Genovese family is the top family in the country, I think you could sum it up by 3 basic things...

1. They're the largest, best organized, and most secretive family.

2. They control the largest bookmaking and loansharking operations in the New York/New Jersey area.

3. They have the most labor racketeering activity left.
