Do any quick google search on this family and you'll read about how they've remained powerful even in the 21st century when most of the mafia has been brought to its knees. I'm interested in hearing some of the best reasons from posters here as to why this is. Were they just run by smarter people? Was some of it just luck? Do some in government and law enforcement want them at the top for any particular reason? Everything just seemed to fall into place for this family and many of its high ranking members.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
