Sounds good but until the 80s NY rules except on chicago and detroit.
So in the 2016 the 5 families had too much problems to think to the other families ?


I think that is pretty much the case..

I think there is a lot of cooperation between the east coast families these days, like we can see in that recent case and that one in 2011 with 127 arrests in one day that had members of all the 5 families plus New England and DeCavs. That is basically the American Mafia today, those 8 east coast families.

Chicago is more or less an island in the world of LCN these days, never heard anything of cooperation between them and east coast families since the 2000's, other than some Bonanno soldier running a strip club in Chicago or something. I don't really remember.

I wonder if Chicago and New York still come together to discuss rules and policy for La Cosa Nostra or that Chicago has completely broken off..
