I've long ago noticed that disconnect too..... bizarre, but many underrate the overseas connections.
I think Massino was the strongest politically in the late 90s- early 2000s.
The thing that always gives me a little pause is that Martino- Locascio operation that stole like 750 million.
I really dont think the Gambinos were hurting that much business wise. They were just stuck with the Gottis, who the Feds had a never ending hard on for....
Which kinda hurt EVERYTHING
