the Chicago syndicate is responsible for the most scandalous schemes of any family
Hollywood, wire services, kennedy, castro, las vegas, etc
The most scandalous schemes? Whatever that means. The Outfit did extort Hollywood studios a long time ago. Kennedy and Castro are a stretch. If we want to get technical, Bugsy was responsible for Vegas and later mob families got involved.

comparing Chicago's mob against NY's combined mobs ain't practical
When did I ever compare the Outfit to all 5 NY families? But if we're comparing the Outfit to the Genovese family, the Genovese operating from ground zero, in mob terms, as well as representing more important families in the east, is something to consider.

there is too much crooked money to be made in Chicago for the outfit to have no clout
Nobody said they have "no clout." What I've been stressing for years now is the outdated notion that the Outfit continues to have a monolithic, all encompassing hold on Chicago; where nearly all crime and corruption revolve around it. The Outfit's clout, in any form you want to look at, is a tiny fraction of what it was years ago. But some people can't seem to make that leap to the 21st century, but choose to stay in the 1970's if not earlier.
