1)Is the LCN still powerful or will ever get back to its Golden Years??


It's certainly still a major force in New York and, to a lesser extent, in a few other areas of the country. But the "Golden Years" will never return for any number of reasons that have been listed many times over.

2)What is the Current biggest Organized crime faction/syndicate??


That's where it depends on what definitions one uses. What groups constitute OC, what constitutes a member, are we talking in the U.S. or internationally, etc.

3)Modern crimes of mafia??


Most of their crimes are what they've always done = gambling, loansharking, extortion, drug trafficking, theft, fraud, labor racketeering, infiltration of legitimate businesses, etc.

4)Are Mobsters still idolized and glamorized in neighborhoods in NYC??


I'd guess to some extent, yes, but I'll defer to the local guys on that one.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
