Pivitol role in the French Connection? Please elaborate? Hot Dog stands? These guys are in this to make money not have their name in lights. Also crimes in which they are involved are generally regional so what does it matter their "global" reach? What role does that have in profits? Granted they may have closer ties to Italy as a whole, however wait until generations set in as it's done in the US and we will see. Explain your passionate defense please. Here's a little secret, what happens in Italy stays in Italy, what happens in the US stays in the US, same for Cananda, the regions have little effect in regards to criminal activities. Otherwise they would all be taking orders from Sicily!
