I meant, are they still the most powerful crime organization in and around Philadelphia? Like they used to be back in the days when Bruno was in charge.
In Bruno's day there really wasn't a lot of other players involved. He ruled in that "window" when the Irish and Jewish groups had fallen by the wayside and other groups weren't really a major factor yet or even on the scene. Now you've got various street gangs, the Hispanic drug trafficking groups supplying most of the narcotics, biker gangs, and other organized crime groups. Each has their own sphere of influence so it still comes back to how you want to define power.
Other than being more dependant on gambling than drugs, I'd say there really isn't much that separates them from other groups in the area. Like one law enforcement official said about the Philadelphia mob, "They really aren't any different from the local drug gangs. We give them names and put them on charts but they're really no different."
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
