in drugs and extortion they arent above anyone. theres about a dozen different other groups that do the same thing some even to a greater extent than the mob. They have an edge when it comes to gambling ill give you that. Ill say that there more expansive in terms of the variety activity but to say that their still a dominant group is just untrue.
they are not big in drugs like they used to be at national level but in certain areas are still the top dogs of course the underworld is much more fractured today but if i would say the strongest group as a whole in the states i still say the cosa nostra since other groups are not so strong like you claim... i think the mafia is above others in general coz it's involved in more and more important fields than others thats what i mean when i say its above
