I don't know if I'd call them a "crime family." Velentzas was just one of many Greek operators in Queens who ran illegal gambling clubs. They have had long standing ties to La Cosa Nostra, primarily the Lucchese family.

I don't know any specifics other than that there are still Greek operators in Queens, as there have been for decades, and they still pay a tax to the Luccheses.
