You can never tell who is doing what until they get arrested.
That's why i've always thought the greatest gangster ever is some guy we've probably never heard of because he never got busted.

The last few years we haven't heard a peep about Barney or his operations. He may be doing nothing, or he may just be keeping everything so tight nothing gets out. Same with Cali, we don't know what he is doing.

So impossible to know which is more powerful. Remember, for years no one even knew who Chin was, even law enforcement had no idea he was really running the whole show.
