They lost Riggi and Guarraci but had a full administration had some unions ties and the other mafia bread and butter: bookies,shilock ecc and for sure share rackets profitts with the other families.
Maybe are no gambino puppets but if a big NY family (gambino,lucchese,genovese) ask something, I doubt that the decavalcante can say no.
