drugs are to risky for the mob anyway Thats where most of the money is. The more someone leaves their comfort zones and take risks, the more money you can ultimately pull in.

The activities of the Mexican cartels are mostly ( I say 'mostly') limited to supplying narcotics. They are the importers, middle men are La Eme, Aryan Brotherhood, Hells Angels, MS13,...who in turn sell it to smaller groups. Dixie Mafia, Black Guerilla Family, Gangster Disciples,...mostly work with Colombians. Neither the Mexicans nor the Colombians are almighty, eventhough Mexican cartels control the importation of narcotics in the Southwest and a good chunk of the deep South, while Colombians mostly control the importation in the Southeast.
The power of the 'homegrown' groups ( not including the more recent Albanian, Russian, Dominican, Cuban, Asian,...arrivals) can be divided as such : Italian-American OC is the most powerful in the northeast and small parts of the midwest, while everything west and south is divided between Chicanos, African-Americans and White Southerners. This concerning 'homegrown' OC.

This concerning 'homegrown' OC. i'm quite agree about it homegrown groups are almost always the strongest and i doubt any of the recent groups is even equal to them most of the chinese groups could be called homegrown groups anyway since they have been in the states a very long time

As far as the drug trade goes in new york its a mixture of dominican, mexican ,jamaican and puerto rican drug smuggling groups that are bringing in cocaine and heroin from their countries and then selling it either wholesale or packaging it up ready for retail to their own gangs or someone else's. I think that the dominicans are the most prevalent out of these groups in the north east. You then have some african american suppliers that are shipping cocaine from the west coast and places like atlanta and texas, or they are buying it off local dominicans in manhattan and then setting up pipelines to other areas of sale like upstate new york, these pipelines are often street gang affiliated.Then you got albanians that are involved with smuggling marijuana from canada, they have also been involved with heroin and cocaine trafficking as well as synthetic drugs, so they are sort of all over the place but none the less very active in the drug trade.Asian gangs vary from being fringe to heavy players in the drug trade, vietnamese gangs are heavily involved with grow ops not to sure about other asian groups. La cosa nostra drug activity by most recent examples is cocaine, marijuana, ecstacy and pescription pills, however the major difference between them and the other groups is that their drug activity is not continuous for example when a mafia connected drug ring is taken down the chances of another mobster coming in and replacing it are slim. This is one of the reasons why they are no longer on top the drug trade anymore.

Not trying to start anything, but that JasonAnthony guy was a complete tool. Everyone knows the mafia doesn't wield the power it used to, however in terms of the East Coast (New York, Jersey especially) there's no doubt they're number one. I don't know what that Jason guy was saying but people like that appear here every once in a while . There was one guy claiming inside knowledge on the outfit saying they're only second to the Genovese and Tony Accardo was never boss etc. Not sure what you are talking about. But don't get all B** hurt because somebody actually makes the case for your beloved Mafia/La Cosa Nostra no longer being the top criminal dog in, god forbid, the East Coast or elsewhere. If they are still the top dog in NYC, ok, good, great, you get a cookie and a pat on the back! But geesh, don't take your hero worship so far!

I don't know if you're talking to me or Joe but if it is me i wasn't talking about you i didn't even read you comments. I couldn't care less if LCN are the top criminaal dog ( as you call it ) i'm not from the US nevermind the Northeast. Imo you're the only one who sounds butthurt.

i highly doubt chinese gangs in chinatown extort more than lcn as a whole that's just speculation i also bet there are several gangs in the bigger chinatowns not just one and they are not all related-eachother Saying that they dont extort more than the lcn is just speculation on your part as well. China town has many tongs that have been around since the 18th century and they often use the street gangs chinese, vietnamese, koreans or otherwise to collect debts, protection money, deal drugs. However these gangs often commit crimes for themselves as well. Are the Tongs still really around ? I thought today's Chinese organized crime in the USA was mainly associated with immigrant Triads
