I'm sorry, but the average American Street Gang don't earn through blue collar crimes like gambling, highjacking and extortion, they just aren't smart enough. And pretty much none of them have managed to infiltrate white collar businesses and their local government the way a. Camorta clan had and the Outfit has. Which for the umpteenth time, is why I say they're comparable.

That "myriad of small gangs" can easily be compared to a crew in the Outfit. They belong to an overall organization, sometimes they get along and earn together, sometimes they don't and they butt heads. But if you find the Camorra more comparable to the typical American street gang, it's clear we won't reach a common ground in this discussion.

And "The Outfit" can be described in many ways, but not comprehensive? First time I've heard that one. Got anything better to compare it to?
