the syndicate didn't do shit because jeff fort wasn't a joke

jeff fort had access to no less than 3,000 shooters


He probably had his own set of hitmen and enforcers as well as the gang itself. At the height of his power he probably could have put the green light out on anyone and any gangmember could have stepped up to do the job when opportunity raised its head. But that doesnt mean that 3,000 gangmembers were personally at his beck and call at any time. But i agree he was no joke, at the time i believe he said something that was directed at the police and also subtly at the outfit "there wont be killing without killing". if you take into consideration that at the time he was suspected of ordering a number of ambush/killings of cops he was definatley someone that could cause alot of havoc and chaos for the outfit. They gotta have thought we dont want this shit happening in our neck of the woods.
