You can see how one would get wrong impressions on some of this stuff. To a casual observer, if they were to read a recent article, it looks like the Bonnanos are the the third strongest, at least.
During Massinos height of power, he had 15 functioning crews right? Everyone would agree they haven't gotten stronger since he flipped? Or is this wrong?
On the Colombos,they are primarily in Brooklyn, on Long Island, and maybe Queens? I always wondered, did Gerry Lang have any protégés?
Yeah some reports had the family with as many as 15 crews. They are definitely not stronger than they were 15-20 years ago. They had 15 members flip, including a boss, underboss, and several captains.
As for the Colombos, they are certainly the most geographically limited family in NY. The vast majority of their presence in Brooklyn, as well as Long Island to a lesser extent.
