I havent just "come in", Ive been reading this forum for a long time. Again, is Buffalo the Genovese? Gambino? Philly? NO. Are FBI accounts a good indicator of a family's importance to them at a federal level yes, is it the whole picture from local and state classification, no. Is there bigger problems in Buffalo than a small LCN family? Yes, all the black and hispanic gangs and recently the Sinola. These current older guys need younger guys around them to help procure more money into their pockets. Is this family small, yes. But it isnt dead, sorry. I could care less if its viable or dead, I think the history of the family is disgusting (like all families) but their operations have shifted heavily away from the nasty violence seen in the 60s and 70s so who the fuck cares, let them exist at this point (probably what the feds are thinking). This country is so fucked with or without them it really doesnt matter.
