Hi, Does anyone have any information on how the mobsters reacted to the crack explosion, in particular in New York?
Were many made men involved in supplying cocaine to the street gangs? Did they come into conflict with the newly rich street dealers throughout the city? Were there any gangs set up that dealt crack in Italian neighborhoods and paid tribute to the various families?
With all the money been made in this era you would have thought that the five families would have been extremely interested in this but I've never really heard of them been involved, I know they have been heavily involved in heroin and just wondered of anyone knew how they reacted to the new drug in the city.
