How many families can still be called viable- ie like 20 or made made men still operating on the street? My list is the five families, barely philly, jeresy and chicago. No boston, detriot no buffalo.

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Id say; Bonnano, Gambino, Genovese, Columbo and Lucchese New york factions. I would say the decalvacentes still are viable by your defintion as well. I think Philly is probably there even after the last indictments. Chicago should not be on that list. I think boston is probably borderline. Thats about it in my opinion.

Five families,outfit Jesery philly maybe the partnership but why people think Detroit is dead.
From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Fwhite, Here is the answer to your question. Because they can't believe that there are other Families that are actually smarter than the Rat infested New York Families. If we went by bigger means better, than the most powerful organized street people in the world would be the Crips and Bloods. Size means nothing. Chicago and Detroit are much smarter than at least 4 of the Rat Infested Blue Collar New York families.

Viability basically means meeting the two factors that make up RICO: an ongoing pattern of racketeering in behalf of an enterprise. That's it. There's got to be continuing activity and there's got to be some semblance of an organizational framework. The only families who meet that standard, and are recognized by the feds, are the 5 NY families, New Jersey, New England, Philadelphia, Chicago, and maybe Detroit. I say maybe for Detroit because there's differing opinions among mob experts regarding Detroit and, needless to say, there hasn't been much discernible activity there in recent years.

I dont think I agree with you Ivy. First of all, he defined viable for you, so with all due respect, lets employ his standard. Secondly, the whole "organizational framework" argument leaves a little to be desired given the low standard the feds have employed with respect to that. They have used rico against extremely disorganized prostitution operations by Crip gangs in California and the only "organizational" element there was the prostitute (soldier) and the pimp (the captain). Lets be real, they throw rico out there many if not all times to achieve sentencing enhancements. So, to circle back, you are employing a much different framework than my friend little nicky. Because, if we are using yours, then yes, Detroit is a viable family, because there are surely 5 or 10 guys out there hustlng and reporting to somebody. Hell, by that definition we might as well revitalize the Los Angeles, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Buffalo families.

Well, this is the very thing that causes disagreements here in the first place - people making up their own definition of viable. Hell, I've seen some even argue a few guys still alive constitutes a family. As far as I'm concerned, there's the RICO definition, which not coincidentally, coincides with the families that are still recognized by the feds. Not some arbitrary number of 20 or whatever. As for RICO, it essentially only needs those two basic requirements. And if other families outside of those 9 or 10 I listed can't even meet that "low standard," well, that gives everyone their answer.

"an ongoing pattern of racketeering in behalf of an enterprise"
Your average street gang meets this standard. They charged Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito with RICO for selling a joint. Multiple local corrupt politicians have been charged with RICO for taking a few bribes.
The mafia is the mafia because of its considerable power and organization. The families are interesting to the public because of the fact they aren't just a basic, bare-bones street gang but large, organized and have real street muscle. If the organization is down to less than 20 made guys, one could question whether it is even a viable family or at the very least its future is extremely dim in the next 5-10 years. Has there ever been a family down to less than 20 members in the past that has managed to make it back from the brink? All the ones I can remember(buffalo, Milwaukee, trafficante, etc) are no.
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

The Philly Mob is more active than the Chicago Mob. I agree in general. At least as far as blue color crime.

So your average corrupt detriot politician meets your definition of a family by taking a few bribes? Depending on the circumstances. We've actually seen a number of corrupt politicians be charged under the RICO law. You do make a good point above. A mob family has to have the requisite manpower to have some semblance of a formal structure to begin with. Which is why that become less and less possible as their numbers dwindle. Some individuals can still be charged with RICO but the devil is in the details. A few guys running a bookmaking operation does not a formally structured family make.

A few guys running a bookmaking operation does not a formally structured family make. Agreed. I think that is all that is left for some of the smaller families and crews like St. Louis, for example. Some guys are reported to be sitting in the restaurants and bars on The Hill, running a book and doing some loan sharking.
Best way to catch the smart ones? Get an idiot working for them.
