Okay Huron. You win, there are several hundred wiseguys in Chicago. They rival the Hispanic drug gangs and the black gangs. In fact, the ethnic gangs who peddle thousands of kilograms a month and gross millions of dollars a year and drop bodies are scared of 72 year old Italian numbers runners, bookies and loansharks.
The same fbi who has a squad that rivals the numbers (or lack thereof) of philly mobsters and are resistant to the fact the mob no longer warrants the investigative attention in philly it did 30 years ago. Those same feds who have decided to shrink their Chicago mob numbers to so few are for some reason, oblivious to the fact here are several hundred Chicago mafia members
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here
