Hard to say, but the three families that are in good shape right now are the Gambinos, Genevese, and Lucchese crime families. On the most Queens question, I would say the Bonanno's are the strongest in that part of New York, with Asaro and Rabito running things since the Genovese's Federici's crew that operates in Queens has had some setbacks, as well as Ianniello having legal problems of his own. Second to the Bonanno's, I would say Teddy Persico still has a lot of pull in Queens. Caccipoli is a Gambino Capo in Queens, but he really is not that strong in Queens as many believe. Luccheses seems to stick to Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey for their operations.
