@Domwoods:

The Bonannos may WANT a piece of the pie. But want and ability to enforce are a different thing.

The mob is about money. First and foremost. And money buys power.

The Montreal 'family' makes probably around 100 times that of which the Bonannos make annually. They control a multi multi million dollar drug pipeline of heroin and cocaine, have a monopoly on the construction industry as well as the standard extortion/protection, gambling and loan. This and with global connections.

That the Bonannos with their 80odd guys on the street (who bring in relatively irrelevant $$ in comparison and none of whom have any international connections) could even attempt to 'enforce' any tribute or subversion is simply ridiculous.
