Wow how something’s change .... a high ranking member of Gambinos gets killed and LE knows the top lineup .....
The unexpected Colombo’s lose the last real boss and not a word .... very unusual.
If you think about it the feds know less about the hierarchy of the 5 families today than they did probably going back to Hoover saying there was no mafia
They really aren’t sure Cali’s position, or anyone else in the Gambinos, Genoveese they never know, Bonnnano they know boss and counsiliarre, Colombo’s maybe MUSH, Lucheese had that wrong and don’t know, Decavs they have no idea.....
so does that mean that the mob are getting stronger in a low profile
or they just weak so they don't about them so much ?
It means that the feds starting in 60’s I believe it was had the TOP Enchalon Informer program
In which they gave immunity to high ranking mobsters usually however, they spent a ton of resources infiltrating the families and
They left these guys in place and were able to build all these monster cases that really really hurt the families
The feds would build these cases for years and years.
They knew everything
Now they are in the dark about so much
Targeting the boss has been their strategy for so long
How are they doing that now when they don’t know who the boss is?Even with the ruling panel there is usually the new guy that has final say
I am saying the quality of the cases now adays is a joke compared what it-used to be
I am saying each family has had a good 10 years or so to rebuild and if they were making 5+ guys a year???
Each of these families may be a lot stronger than the feds think.
Look at Philly the feds have a bigger hard on for Merlino than about anyone in LCN today
Philly is stronger now crews etc,member since when?
Bruno
Even when the feds bring cases look at the out come?
Skinny gets 2 years
They don’t have the informers well placed anymore
They are grabbing the low hanging fruit
With bullshit Christmas tree Rico cases which is a “SHIT AGAINST THE EALL†Rico case
I don’t know what the percentages are however, I think that in the last 10 years or so that when mobsters has the balls and resources to go to trial they have won about 50% of the time.
The FED MACHINE used to be close to 100% conviction
Nowadays guys are taking please because they are getting a couple years thrown at them so they just take
If LCN is smart moving forward forget about extinction they will be able to grow and keep rebuilding.
