Yeah, the family seems to be operating more cohesively now. But as late as 2004, law enforcement was saying the Gambinos were "Balkanized." I guess you could say the rift started way back when Paul took over and continued, to a degree, up to the time Rudaj and his guys started making their moves. Which is one of the reasons the Gotti faction, who was in power at the time, didn't do much to deal with the Albanian problem. At least not until the problem became theirs too once the Albanians shut down a Greek gambling club in Queens that was affiliated with them - which resulted in the meeting between Squitieri and Rudaj at the gas station.
