okay thankyou ,i was under the impression that the LCN in nyc was pretty much taken as a joke now a days but thanks for clearing this up..also I know that the Russian mafia has a hook on hacking and computer fraud so is the LCN involved in the same type of fraudulent activity??? Okay and you said the LCN is still involved in extortion,do you mean like Collecting Protection money from local shops and restaurants or some other form of extortion??? and thanks again for the info @IvyLeague
