California is just too far removed from the mob's powerbase and where the majority of the membership is today. Even back in the day the California families were small potatoes.

You have individual members in the state but you could probably count them on two hands. The LA family has something like 7 or 8 members left and half of them don't even live in California anymore.

I don't think there are any locally based, functioning crews there. About the only thing left (besides some legitimate business interests) is the mob's bookmaking networks that extend from back east our to cities in the west like Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Diego.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
