Thanks @H.

During his prime days, it is possible that Lepke's crew was represented by Lansky and also possibly the Genoveses, but my personal opinion (according to what ive read in the past) is that Lepke was more powerful than Lansky, although the latter ones close conections to the Mafia placed him at the top.
