If the Gambinos are thriving what’s that say about the Genovese? I’d put them on a whole another levels than the Gambinos.
Genovese always make the most non narcotics cash.
Membership wise they keep shrinking because they are insanely selective and closed off.
But those alive do really well. But they lose way more people than they replace. Which at some point will hit a critical mark and hurt them. But they probably only need a few huge earners anyways.
I'm not sure where you get your info. In the 2007 Danny Leo case, the feds cited 200 members for the Genovese family. The most recent figure I've seen, from the 2014 Wall Street Journal article on the NY mob, had the Genovese as the largest with close to 200 members. The Colombos were said to have around 100. These figures have remained pretty consistent for over 20 years.
