a previous poster said that in 10 yrs he wouldn't be surprised if the gambinos would absorb the colombos.
i've wondered at one point do the genovese or gambinos or any family start taking over other families entirely or a crew at a time.
all the NYC families work together on different rackets from time to time the indictments ovet the past 5-10 yrs prove this.
and in this hypothetical scenario what families would takeover whom.
ex=would philadelphia ever absorb the remnants of the decavalcante or vice versa?
In the past there have been parts of crews and/or whole crews absorbed into other families.
The Genovese absorbed a bunch of the Colombo's from Joe Gallo's crew.
The Detroit family absorbed a whole crew in Canada from the Buffalo LCN, family.
I believe a crew from Utica N.Y. also jumped from Buffalo to the Bonanno.
Rochester N.Y, again jumped from Buffalo to become its own family.
Then you have the Rizzuto's that jumped from the Bonnano to their own family as well.
The Trafficante's I believe were absorbed by the Gambinos's in Fl.
The LA. family was again absorbed by the Gambino family.
Really the Decalvacante family has been absorbed by the Gambino's.
I know the above isn't 100% accurate but I am pretty sure most of the above is somewhat true.
