I just don't see any need for an LA family anymore. It's not about lack of Italians. It's about gangs having all of the muscle on LA's streets. And, in areas where gambling would be popular, Asian gangs are savvy enough to bookmaking to run it without help, and have the numbers to not let relics from the Peter Milano mob push them around. Maybe laying off action to mobsters, but I bet people like Isgro who run book in the rich areas already provide that service. I can't imagine there being any room in the rackets for LA family members other than working for New York guys in the region.

"...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
