ivy , do u believe there is a structured mob family in Detroit . Yes or no ?? Because i do
Yes, I do believe there is some semblance of a hierarchy left but not nearly as hierarchical as the charts we've seen. I also don't believe there are still 30 members at this point and have doubts if they even are still are making new members. Considering how many members have died over the past 10-15 years, I wouldn't be surprised if the membership of the family is much smaller than many believe. Whatever the familial connections, the family being so susceptible to attrition makes it much more unstable, at least in the long term, than any of the other remaining families outside NY.
I also don't believe the family has any significant labor union involvement left and virtually no involvement in the drug trade. I believe the family's illegal operations dont extend beyond bookmaking, with some ancillary loansharking and card games. And this does not extend to any great degree outside the greater Detroit area. In other words, the family has nothing significant going on in other states. I think what's left of the mob in Detroit is more comparable with, say Buffalo, than any of the families still active. Which is precisely why there is disagreement among OC experts about its current state. It's in that grey area where it could go either way.
