i agree that there is little to no activity that you can find on the internet. that's my point though - that you can find it on the internet. I wouldn't be surprised if there are less than 5 made guys left down here, but thats because, as you correctly pointed out, that old man Carlos didn't make that many guys. But there is plenty of activity, but the only people that are taking the fall are crooked politicians.

Almost every politician from Louisiana that has landed in jail lately can be traced back to mob-related activity. And there has been a lot.

the fact is that the fbi knows very well only italian mafia activities in the northeastern states or chicago or detroit, but it doesn't know what really happens in new orleans and other places because cosa nostra is not so big there and it is not considered the major priority, but it doesn't mean the family has gone there like fbi claims, it claims it only because they don't know the situation and they want to believe the mafia has gone there looool

The FBI doesn't know the situation but you do? Give it up. You simply assume the mob is still going strong is New Orelans because you hope it is. It's not. The family is defunct and nearly extinct. Whatever mob activity remaining, if there is any at all, is not significant. You probably think families in places like Dallas and Denver are still thriving under the radar.

the families in new orleans and other places like dallas or los angeles although smaller and less-known are very alive, there had not any turncoat in new orleans mob history and other families involved in kennedy's murder, it's not a case these families have a great impunity thanks to local politicians corrupted and protected by the fact that even american goverment doesn't intend to focus on them so much

You have absolutely no evidence that these families are still around. It's just you talking out of your ass because you hope they are still around. You can sit there and make baseless claims all you want but they don't mean a thing.

maybe fbi has some evidence these families are gone? maybe fbi has turncoat declarations or wiretaps proving it's gone? the last indictment against new orleans mob was in the 90s, but it doesn't mean the family is not alive, it could have make several people since than although we are talking to a small family, 15-20 members, it was small even at its peak and i suppose it mantained the same members it had in the 60s... new orleans answer to genovese's in the commission and there is not any turncoat in that family to explain it

You see how you are just grasping at straws? Maybe this, maybe that. It could be this, it could be that. There reason there hasn't been any cases involving New Orleans since the early 1990's is because there is nothing left. And even then the family was almost gone. It was only the remaining handful of members working with the Gambino and Genovese families in the video poker business. We don't need a turncoat to explain anything. Anyone who isn't just hoping the family is still there can see the writing on the wall.

you forget that louisiana is a very corrupted state, it's easy to think local politicians still protect the local mafia that was involved even in the kennedy's murder togheter with cia and other politicians, you forget that is a small family and it doesn't create social alarm like the mafia could create in new york for example that is full of mafiosi, the police simply couldn't be interested and it doesn't intend to focus of local mafia because it's not so violent and politicians are extremely corrupted there... in other words the logic says the new orleans mob could be still alive and powerful, it could be a crew of genovese's family but i think it's still independent

So what if there is corruption in Louisiana? Corruption does not necessarily have to do with the Mafia. It's ridiculous that you have to bring up Kennedy's murder. That was almost a half century ago. It was a small family even at it's peak. Less than two dozens members. Which is why it was almost gone by the early 1990's. Give it up. There is no evidence that there is any viable family remaining. Just a few old timers. By contrast, the Tampa family is still there even though they are only about the size of a single crew at this point with 10-12 members. And they are allied with the Gambinos. There is nothing left in New Orleans to be allied with anyone.

thewestside, if a crime family is only the size of a crew doesn't that mean there activities are limited to a few and they have to focus on the quality of the activity? How much power can a crime family have being that small ?

What I try to point out to people is there is a difference between mob activity still being in a certain area and there actually being a viable crime family. For a family to be considered viable, in my opinion, they must still have some semblance of a traditional structure as well as discernible ongoing activity. There still may be a handful of members and associates here or there which are involved in this or that but it doesn't mean they still are a viable family. Places like Tampa, Cleveland, or Los Angeles are a good example of this. Each have about 10 members, give or take, remaining. But when half of them are old and inactive, in prison, or more or less legitimate, you are not looking at a viable family.
