the Chicago outfit because they truly ruled Chicago. "no family has ever had that much control over a city, as the outfit had over Chicago" the outfit- russo.

Good one Furio, I'll go with the Genovese Family, they have their act together,are earning and keep it close to the vest

Probably Detroit because I'm from the area & like their lowkeyness.

Genovese family, of course.

Outside of the Five Families, maybe Detroit. They make a lot of legitimate money, keep it in the family, and don't have to worry too much about prison.

I'll go with Milwaukee, maybe try to rebuild it

Why everyone would like to go with Genovese

Why did I choose the Gambinos? Because the Genovese's "don't break their capos, they kill them" as the Chin more or less put it. That means one mistake, and then whack! Then imagine what they do to soldiers.

No, I'll go with the Gambinos. Obviously the Gottis were just fall guys. Ever since Castellano's reign, there has probably been an invisible contingent in that family.

In the interest of being low key, the other smaller satellite families are also interesting if you can make it to caporegime and just lay low.

I'm pretty sure they don't kill for any mistake.

Even so, how many Genovese captains have been murdered recently? I'm not keeping count, but the only one I can think of is Lawrence Ricci 9 years ago. But he didn't simply screw up, he disregarded a direct order.

I would choose the Gambino's. They are doing some exciting things now and the new leadership seems to be having a lot of fun up there in brooklyn ny. Just a great bunch of guys with a lot of fondness for its members. I just cant say the same about some of the others.

I choose the chicago outfit they had must power back in the day from the the 1920s to the 1970s .

the "West Side" as you gentleman refer to them as. good leadership, low key, a lot of big money white collar rackets, a lot of respect and mandatory plea deals. also seems like a good number of those guys(for lifelong criminals) die old and free.

idk if I could pick the Outfit.......

what was it Calabrese Jr said, something like "New York shoots each other when they have to, Outfit guys have torture chambers in their basements" or something kinda like that........no thanks

ask Action Jackson how that era turned out for him even after doing everything right

I chose Philly for the commute, and for the fact it could devolve to the point where we are selling our suboxone scripts and works on the corner and people would still be talking about me.

I read on Raab's Five Families inh the final chapters that in the late 90s and begin of 00s that some wiseguy didn't know in which family they are made or that Cosa Nostra means Our Friends.

They never had a Gotti,Casso or Massino and from 2004 to now don't know who's the boss,maybe Bellomo.

Sounds like an infomercial for the local Rotary Club .

I heard he rape a outfit members wife and bite of her nipple that was one of many reasons he got whacked slow. You play with fire you Will get burnt play no games in the Outfit as many have have found out

Tampa for the weather and beaches. They had tge area locked up under Santos

I'm still not sure about Moscatiello. If memory serves, there was some small mention in one article about him having flipped shortly before his death but nothing else beyond that. And, even if he had flipped, he died and apparently didn't have time to give up much of anything.
