This is only the California cities, and does not include those members that moved out to these areas before the 1931 meeting. There are other LCN members who operated in these cities or areas that belonged to other families and never transfered to these families. The lists do not include associates that transfered from other cities and were made into these families.
Tony Milano never transferred families, he and his brother Frank had a grip on Warner Brothers, who were from Youngstown. Tony ran the old Mayfield Road Mob and was a big proponent of entering business ventures with connected Jewish racketeers, he was partners with Moe Dalitz, Morris Kleinman, Louis Rothkopf, and Samuel Tucker, who all went on to seize control of Vegas and West Coast Rackets through Mickey Cohen. Milano was extorting unions from very early in his career, he had Bill Presser in his back pocket. Plus, he had Milton "Maishe" Rockman, known as the Meyer Lansky of Cleveland. Milano had all the major motion picture unions in his back pocket, more than any other mob family in the country. Hence, why Frattiano and his sons Peter & Carmen were in positions to take over. Tony's sons weren't like him or his brother Frank, they were educated and one of them was a lawyer...they grew up accustomed to privilege. Tony came from nothing and died with close to $75 million dollars, he was known to have his first communion money. He did a lot of business in LA and had a second home in West LA, but never transferred there, just had a lot of clout because Mickey Cohen was scared shitless of the Old Man.
