maybe not stronger in means of influence and manpower, but surely in consolidated leadership, stable administrations or whatever you wanna call it. More organized in "organized crime". If you look into all the documentarys, they essentially stopped in the mid 90s and concluded the mob was back to street level gang and therefore gone. Disorganized. That, in my opinion, has been obv proven to be wrong.
Feds have only now, after years, figured out the boss for the WS, took them some time.

Mob got more organized = what i think the feds mean with stronger. OFC ivy is absolutely right. No way theyre in the shape of ~ until the mid90s/2000s for bonnanos.
