I've said before that a good argument can be made that the LCN is still the strongest organized crime group in the greater New York metropolitan area.


that is the strongest in ny is sure... we can argue is still the strongest as single criminal group even at national level, i mean if you compare lcn to the single black, latin or russian most powerful groups

Newer crime groups dont follow rigid structures like this, which makes the leaders harder to identify.


thats coz they are weaker, they are loosely organized and they will disappear in little time compared to the mafia
