Obviously, I have no proof, but I think you guys are dead wrong. up until Castellano was whacked the Gambino's had hundreds and hundreds of soldiers, over 2 dozen capo's and literally 1,000's of associates across many states like Florida, New Jersey and Connecticut.

The had a huge presence in trucking, the garment district, unions, construction, cement, produce, meat producers and I'm sure drugs, extortion, gambling and loan sharking.

I think overall this forum has a slight bias and infatuation with the Westside and that's OK, I've learned a lot about them being on here.
