ou mean they were on par with the genovese/gambino families at their peak
no, i mean what a said. the whole argument of " the outfit controlled the entire western united states" is tired and overstated at best. what about the outfits dominant control of las vegas? where is that today? they might have 1 or 2 made guys out there at best, and why is that? the mafia has alot more influence in AC as opposed to vegas.
so you're saying not only were the gambino/genovese stronger than the outfit, but two other new york families that were in the middle of internal warfare were also stronger than chicago?
