Of course it happens. Not as much as it used to be blah blah blah yeah sure duh but you try set up an operation of a significant level in a certain field / area / industry where a family has interests and if you don’t have your own backup there’s an almost certain chance they’ll come knocking.

We’re not in 1974 anymore but we aren’t in 2074 yet…

I was going to mention the Ricigliano case as well: he had a tight operation, possibly helped by the fact that his old man is a cop (ret.). Anthony Silvestro stalked him around Brooklyn and SI for a while until he managed to break into his house and reportedly gave him a serious beating or something. And that was a tiny crew with the Colombos, not the Gambinos or Genos.

Like Ralphie said each family has its own approach, clout and influence. The Lukes under Crea and now under DeSantis don’t mess around.

Wasn’t the Florida Bonanno-Colombo sit down mentioned by zip Settineri over who got to tax some operation there too? I don’t remember the exact reason but I think it was territorial
