what would lead you to make that sort of an assumption, simply because there are sicilians within the ranks of the gambino's? things change alot in a few years in the drug world, much less 30-40 years ago when the cross atlantic heroin pipeline was at its peak.

here's the breakdown: columbian and mexican wholesalers dominate the northeast market, anybody arguing anything different is just out to lunch. dominican organizations are typically at the top of the food chain as far as wholesale distribution is concerned and are also well entrenched in street level sales along with black and puerto rican groups. again, the mob organizations are no more than mid-level dealers at best, be in coke and heroin, or pills and weed.
