I will certainly defer to you guys above in regards to the NE Ohio scene, but what I am told and understand is sometimes at odds with what I am hearing here. There are some outstanding posters on this site, but some of the info. is a little outdated with all respect. I have seen FBI agent Roger Greenbank quoted on this forum in regards to NE Ohio/Pittsburgh, but in all truth he has been gone for almost 15 years and the current lay of the land has changed. While I wholeheartedly agree that the old power structure is gone, the structure itself has not..at least that is my understanding. Some of the names that have been mentioned as highly regarded "associates" who were going to be made in the late 90's are still around and functioning as made soldiers...again, from what I am told. I also read someone on this site say that there were 18 made men remaining in Pittsburgh...that is certainly not true, but saying that Sonny C. is the last remaining is also a stretch.
