No mention at all of LCN activity. More remnants and associates of the old syndicate independently operating.


Exactly , if the there was LCN in Cleveland wouldn't they be taking of Piece of Marty? One of the companies tied up in the raid . Also got popped with Basil in the early 80's.


I do believe that a few former members may operate on a smaller scale and are still feared to a degree, but Licavoli brought down this former powerhouse of a family. Along with Scalish not formally inducting many new members is truly ashame considering the the family was once a force to be recokoned with.


Yes Small and feared to some degree is accurate in my opinion, allot of mob talk in Cleveland big mob culture. . The family became paper tiger. I think Scalish not bringing in new blood was the major downfall. Obv Lack of respect for Licavoli didn't help either. It would of been interesting to see what happened if Leonardo had taken over.
