Also Ivey, I feel like you look a little too much at NY, look at some of those Italian families... THEY LOOK LIKE GODFATHER 3 lol, so how's it not reality or close to it? the Rizzutos?
They want from a crew, to a powerhouse family in like what 25- 30 years?
My point is the mob had 50 years unmolested, I think guys like Gambino, Costello, Catena ( another great example with balleys and midway games) Luciano, even guys like Profaci with the oil, I honestly think they would be disappointed today.
Here is a quote from my favorite mob book that sums up what I think it should look like.....
“Casalesi have distributed their goods throughout the region. Just the real estate assets seized by the Naples DDA in the last few years amount to 750 million euros. The lists are frightening. In the Spartacus trial alone, 199 buildings, 52 pieces of property, 14 companies, 12 automobiles, and 3 boats were confiscated. Over the years, according to a 1996 trial, Schiavone and his trusted men have seen the seizure of assets worth 230 million euros: companies, villas, lands, buildings, and powerful automobiles, including the Jaguar in which Sandokan was found at the time of his first arrest. Confiscations that would have destroyed any company, losses that would have ruined any businessman, economic blows that would have capsized any firm. Anyone but the Casalesi cartel. "Every time I read about the seizure of property, every time I see the lists of assets the DDA has confiscated from the bosses, I feel depressed and exhausted; everywhere I turn, everything seems to be theirs. Everything. Land, buffalos, farms, quarries, garages, dairies, hotels, and restaurants. A sort of Camorra omnipotence. I can’t see anything that doesn’t belong to them”
THATS WHAT I MEAN, what I think Carlo and those types were going for , any thoughts? (This is getting kinda interesting, feel free to chime in guys...)
