This: There are like what 1000 made guys and let's say 5000 associates? These guys are all going to be canibilizing the same markets, this is why gangsters go out of state.
It's like New YOrk drug dealers that cop in ny cause the price is cheap and there are suppliers, but move it outta town, and make more than a dealer that stays local.

It would be naive to assume the ny dealer makes more JUST cause he's in ny.
Like if you said Tieri had 20 million on the street, that's why he was the biggest, but you just say he was the biggest in ny, and that came from nypd right? But that's a NEw York perspective...
That guy I mentioned, I think ruby stein, I think in murder machine he was killed by the Westies, I think he handled big time book for like multiple families, Colombo, genovese, I might be confusing him though, don't have the book in front of me.
If I'm not mistaken castellano and funzi had a sit down over it. In fact I read the westies kept the book, and started to pick up the loans. This is what I mean, the competition in ny is fierce, it's not taken into consideration a lot I think...
i actually do think the biggest sharks were like from the 50s and whatnot, they had a lot more liquid capital sitting around....
