Look at it this way, name the guy in the mob during the Matthews era, that was as big or bigger.... Seriously, who?
The pizza connection got cooking in the late 70s 80s?
Would you name Pasquale Conte? Casso and Amuso? The Bonnano Sicilian wing? Frank Matthews had 22 states Ivey, don't just focus on NY. Even Barnes, I mean Harlem was ALWAYS the most lucrative territory in NY right?
Who would have been as big or bigger? Right after THE MAFIA DRUG RING got taken down ( the genovese -ormento group)...
