40 years from now (2052) I could see the remnants of the New England, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Chicago families looking like how Pittsburgh is now. 5 or 6 old timers left, maybe some active, most not. Five, ten years from now, they gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five, ten years from now, they gonna mish John Gotti...

I disagree with that article, he may get a lot of respect and some influence, but that guy does not run that family
It may be George Anastasia, but still, I don't buy it
Certainly not activily running the family over the past decade while he's been in prison. Only Ligambi was in a position to do that. Typically, that would suggest Merlino possibly having the official boss position and Ligambi the acting boss. But there was also that article that claimed Ligambi had the "acting" dropped from his title and was the official boss. But an indictment supersedes that, probably. It seems the government is even trying to catch up here. And, considering the breakdown of the hierarchy for a small family like Philly, it's probably more grey than black and white. Some overlap in terms of authority and what not. For instance, Merlino wanting a few guys to get made but Ligambi basically saying, "You can make them when you get home."

You're only 34, Ivy? I figured you to be closer to my age (I'm almost 53). But I guess that's a testament to all the research you do on the subject of Organized Crime  .

Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.
