Out of all the mafia families that have been decimated by RICO and age & attrition, who do you think were the strongest in terms of influence in their respected geographic territories and why? Not based on the popularity of each mafia boss, but their true power and influence?
Defunct families include: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Northeastern Pennsylvania, Rochester, St. Louis, Dallas, Denver, San Jose, San Francisco, Tampa, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Rockford or Des Moines?
Before I can answer this question what decade are we talking about ??the 50s or the 80s Because depending on the decade the strength of families such as Cleveland and new orleans or Pittsburgh in the 90s, depending on the time frame it varies wildly.
