For the Family I choose the cosca of Castellammare del Golfo. Their base territory being the town of Castellammare in Trapani province of course, with their satellite "regime" based in New York City.

The "Capo Famiglia" is Girolamo (Lupo the Wolf) Minore. His underboss or "Sotto Capo" is Giuseppe (Pepino) Buccellato. Their "Consigliere" is Salvatore (Don Turiddo) La Sala.

Their resident New York City "Capo di decina" would be Leonardo (Black Leo) Evola. He has as his "Acting Capo" over the regime Camillo (Lilo) Cammarata.*

This "regime" has as its mainstays; gambling rackets in the form of a large sports-bookmaking network grossing approximately $25,000,000 annually (or $500,000 weekly), and an extensive "joker poker" slot machine route with 30 to 40 video gambling machines steadily operating, which bring in an estimated $1,500 per machine per week.

They also control a large loan shark operation with an estimated $1,000,000 out "on the street" averaging 2%-4% weekly interest or "vigorish." This generates an average of $30,000 per week in net profits alone.

Augmenting these base "bread and butter" rackets is a highly sophisticated counterfeiting operation that duplicates near perfect quality $20 and $50 dollar notes of United States currency that are manufactured and printed back in the Trapani province of Sicily and smuggled into the states (once a year), specifically into the Northeast region for future wholesale distribution by Sicilian nationals who are affiliated with the "Minore" network of mafiosi operating surreptitiously in America.

Side note: narcotics is strictly prohibited. Any violation of this edict results in death, or at the very least, permanent expulsion (being shelved) from Cosa Nostra. The one possible exception to this rule is trafficking in marijuana (but only if it is put "on record" and sanctioned by Evola).

But paramount to all these illegal activities is the "cardinal rule" dictated by Lupo Minore and Pepino Buccellato back in Castellammare del Golfo that all "men of honor" living in America are to purchase, start up, partner in, or otherwise invest these monies in their choice of legitimate businesses so as to reinvest the profits, create a legit cover for themselves, and keep the lowest of profiles. Not to mention the fact that is will further strengthen their regime.

Legitimate industries that they are thought to be invested in include the following;

pizzerias, restaurants, cafes and taverns
Italian food importation and wholesale distribution
construction and land development
trucking and warehousing
real estate and income properties
dry cleaners and laundromats
import-export and trading
----
Resident caporegime Leonardo "Black Leo" Evola oversees a ten man crew of "soldiers" that includes;

Camillo (Lilo) Cammarata *
Vito Cammarata
Arcangelo (Lefty) Morello
Pietrino (The Fox) Crociata
Joseph (Joe Brown) La Bruno
Joseph (Joe Dap) Dapoleo
Carmen D'Angelis
Rosario (Ross) Carozzo
Giuseppe (Piddu) Evola
Roberto (Bobby Ross) Borruso
--
These "soldati" are augmented by a small contingent of trusted "associates," some of whom are "proposed" and slated for induction down the road. They are estimated to number approximately 20-30 additional men of both Sicilian and Southern Italian ancestry (Calabrese and Napolitani). Some of whom are American born, and some born oversees.
