My answer is from like 40 or more years ago, now adays I have no Idea

they are better people than most give them credit for, I saw guys use their money like robin hood. I stand by that.

Geno fam trucking, garbage, waterfront, construction gambling, drugs but was never talked about, own judges and basically owned everyone. Owned NJ for sure even Hudson County is mostly known By Bonanno Joe Bayonne but as far as I know Geno fam was way bigger than him and them there.


Luke same on lower level owned Newark politicians

Gambino same huge level, more ny than nj . garments in the mix, jewelry, I'm sure others too but I don't have info

Colombo I have never heard anything about them

Bonanno I have never heard anything about them other than Joe Bayonne
