membership

what was the peak membership for all the famlies in usa

I think it was around 5000 members total

sorry meant each family individually

Ahh I see. Well that's up to serious debate. For example, some day Carlo Gambino had 500 soliders by the time he died. Others say about 350. We can't be completely sure, but I know there are others on this board who know more than me.
Welcome to the forum Nicky

The highest i've ever heard for an individual family was 650 made men for the Genovese at one point i'm not sure where i read it though .

what about the small famlies like tampa bay, st. louis, milwaukee, buffalino, ect. and thanks!

No idea but i doubt any of them surpassed 100 made men.

same for L.A., Pittsburgh, and Rochester

Yeah Rochester is prob inactive. Pitt and LA probably have 20 guys combined. The only viable precense they have in the states is New York, Philly, New Jersey, New England (Boston and Providence), Chicago, South Florida, and Detroit.

what areas in nyc have the most mob activity

All of them to varying to degrees. Each Family has more territory in one than others for ex: The Colombos stick to Brooklyn and Long Island, they aren't as spread out. The Genovese's are everywhere because they are the biggest.

Thanks 4 Sharing

Was I stating the obvious?

i dont think it was that obvious

and he wasnt sharing he was responding to my question

All 3 are inactive imo.

I thought LA was somewhat active. But I know Peter Milano died and the rest of the leadership kinda retired or died off. So I wouldn't be surprised if you were right

rochester has zero made guys active, pittsburg has 1 made guy who is semi-active if you even wanna go that far. LA has maybe 6 semi- active made guys, and most of the ones that are spend more time in thier legal businesses like porn production, air conditioning, one has a pizza shop and another a tattoo shop, but nothing even remotely organized.

Would you agree with the rest of the statement however?

at the lone Pittsburgh guy.

Brooklyn.

do you think there is any mob influence in Vegas today

outside of a few loansharks from chicago its doubtful. atlantic city has much more mob activity today than las vegas.

Not in the casino's directly, but they probably invest in a lot of legitimate buisnesses. But it's not possible for them to hold sway in Vegas anymore, they suspect any mob involvment they suspend your gambling license

Have you been to Revel yet in A.C. FF? A.C. is struggling right now.

About 2500.

Genovese: 300-400
Gambino 300-400
Bonanno: 200-300
Lucchese: 200
Colombo: 150-200

Chicago: 150-200
Detroit: 75
Buffalo: 80-90
Cleveland: 60
Philadelphia: 70
Boston/New England: Not sure.
DeCavalcante: 60
Los Angeles: 70
Milwaukee: 50-60
San Francisco: 25-30
Tampa: 30-40
New Orleans: 25-30

These figures are too high, in my opinion, They are not reflecting the actual situation.

Those are PAST figures from peak membership years.

pittsburgh has maybe 3 made guys left with no acticty

im surprised pittsburgh has so small of a family

Other than New York and Chicago, these families are severely weakened or gone. LA, Pitt, Cleveland, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Milwaukee are gone. NJ, Philly, Boston/Providence, Buffalo and Detroit are way down from past membership.

even though a lot of NJ, Philly, Boston/Providence guys went to jail, they're still long away from going defunct

This is true, Philly and NJ have come back. As for the Patriarca Family they're in deep shit
