Specifically paging Vacari, Sinatra, others who've discussed mafia/syndicate activity in California, but any feedback is appreciated.

What's happening in California today?

I know it's not much. Joe Isgro (Gambino) was busted in LA. I've read other Gambinos have action in LA.

The LA family is the only California family still believed to be breathing. Is there anything big they're still involved in? I've read about Mike Esposito, his porn company, Gentlemen's Video.

Anything in the bay area today? San Diego?

I know Vegas is in Nevada, but California gangsters have always been involved with Vegas. Anything still going on in Vegas? I've heard whispers about the Cortez, although it's probably just rumors stemming from it being one of the only privately owned casinos where complete ownership is unknown.

"...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
