Genovese's have the top crews in New Jersey in my honest opinion, most notable Palumbo crew. Lucchese had a strong crew but has been weakened and is still recovering from the Amuso and Casso fiasco. For the Bonanno's, Sammartino Sr. runs that crew based out of Bayonne, the crew was powerful during the piazza connection era but lost a lot of it's momentum, it is now a shadow of its former self and who the fuck is this Daniel Bonanno?
while ofcourse the Amuso and Casso antics hurt the Jersey crew, they pretty much caused acceturo and riccardi to flip taking down the tacceta brothers. but attribute the weakened state their in now to them being hammered with indictments over the past 7 years. first operation heat in 07 and then again 2010 with another big gambling bust. it looks like the operation heat case which have been in some type of legal limbo for over the past 5 years is close to coming to ahead, so we could see all the Pernas going down along with some other top guys from that crew. but ofcourse the lucheses are far from being wiped out of north jersey. and it goes without saying that the west side has the most influence in new jersey. they have their hands in the unions on the ports and in garbage hauling along with having the biggest books. and having their influence not limited to north jersey, like the other new york crews are, but also have reaches into south jersey. lol dont even bother asking about daniel bonnano, just a figment of a poor souls imagination.
