The Genovese rats didn't do much actual damage as far as putting people in prison.
As far as attrition, I would say Chicago has been hit the hardest of the sirviving families. The power they have now is nothing compared to the 1980's when they still controlled the casinos and unions. They are down from 6 crews to two crew with not much more than gambling and shy.
are you joking?
Anthony “Bingy” Arilotta- helped decimate the springfield genovese crew and took down the boss of the entire genovese family.
Vincent "Fish" Cafaro- Soldier helped bring down gigante and others he was a major damage to the family
all families have been damaged by rats
the outfit is alot weaker than it was but it has three crews and still a force with some union clout and links to rackets like contruction
philly has been damaged the most by rats without a doubt. Then the bonanno family
Nigro was the former acting boss at the time of his indictment. And he had that position because he is part of the crew that is basically the default leadership for the whole family. Other guys from that crew also were acting boss at one point - Bellomo, Serpico, Muscarella, DeLuca.
I think Mulberry's point is the Genovese defections haven't been as damaging to them as those of other families. Arilotta, Tranghese, and Ruggiero were are part of crews on the outskirts, so to speak, and not the family's powerbase in New York/New Jersey. Cafaro was just one of several witnesses against Gigante who would have been convicted anyway. And he was on the way out in terms of his health. More to the point, the family hasn't had any key guys like a Sammy Gravano, AL D'Arco, or Sal Vitae who did a lot of damage on their own and/or caused a domino effect of others flipping.
