I think you're comparing a major league ball club with Triple "A" - if that.

The Mafia is always head and shoulders way above the bikers, and even the bikers know it. When Nicolo Rizzuto was in prison, incarcerated HA's were fighting over who got to press his clothes and lay them out on his cell cot in time for him coming back from the breakfast - where other HA's served his food tray to him and followed him around, hanging on his every word and gesture to the point he complained to prison officials that they were a nuisance.

HA's live in awe of mob guys. In the early 2000's in BC the police did a major bust of the Hells Angels, mostly by using a "Mr Big" undercover sting with cops posing as members of the mafia. The HA's got themselves into trouble by tripping over themselves trying to impress the fake Mafiosi.

Even in BC where the HA are the public face of organized crime, you had over the years guys like Joe Romano and Joe Gentile (christian godfather to Paolo Violi's kids) who operated at the very top of the OC pyramid in BC. Rizzutos have always had a Vancouver presence too with Robert and Anthony Papalia.
