How do you know how active Philly is compared to Detroit? If we base this on news articles, like some on this forum do, wouldn't they be pretty comparable? There's barely any news reports on current Philadelphia LCN, the only reason majority of the community has some idea of their current activity, is through articles written up by the researchers like Capeci, Anastasia, & even Scott himself. Not doubting you, but do you have anything to support the statement of Philly being far more active?
No, they wouldn't be comparable. You don't even have to go by articles (which there are far more of in regards to Philly). There's a reason there isn't much written about about Detroit - because there's not that much to tell. You can also compare the amount of indictments. I could post a list of cases involving both families after the last 15 years but it wouldn't do any good. That's where I'd get the response that Detroit is somehow smarter and better at staying under the radar or that law enforcement in Detroit concentrates on other things. Anything people can come up with rather than face the current state of the Detroit mob.
