This board sure attracts the brain dead. Holding up two of the worst mobsters in the last 50 years as heroes to emulate and bashing a guy who is likely the unanimous choice among experts of the sleekest, most successful boss during a period where the Feds were locking up everyone.

As for Philly, the last indictments and the Galati case should have made it clear the philly street gang is barely a functioning family. The best scams they have going are video poker machines and paying some moron 100 dollars a night to hit cars for the insurance work. That isn't to take away anything from uncle joe, who has been remarkably successful in staying on the streets. But this is no longer a vast criminal conspiracy, its a sports betting and video poker ring.
