Philly without a doubt.

If we're going by the Miriam Websters definition below, it's not difficult to figure out what family most fits that description.



resilient
adjective
re·​sil·​ient | \ ri-ˈzil-yənt \
Definition of resilient
: characterized or marked by resilience: such as
a: capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or rupture
b: tending to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change

I made a point about the definition we're going with so people aren't talking past each other about different things. Going by the definition I posted, its undoubtedly the Genovese.

However, another definition is not so much to withstand the damage but to recover after the fact. That would probably be Philly. All their internal murders, more members flipped than any other family (including administration), and all the prosecutions...a small family like that should be dead. I don't think they're operating at a level some others do but that they're still around at all is pretty remarkable.

In my opinion it is the Colombos. Colombo/Profaci family weakened themselves with civil wars pretty much over their entire existence. They had 3 internal wars. Every leader or opposition to the current leadership in the Colombo family was toxic. They were the cause of their own demise, because those who made moves to take the top spot, were only thinking of the throne, and not the family as a whole. They still exist. They're still around.

That's a straight up lie or he's disabled. I don't even think it exists anymore and the patriarchs have what, 40 members

More like 30. Maybe less. But Luisi's claim is still absurd.

I have 31 confirmed members on my list with a handful of possible members. So about 40 or just under 40 members seems about right. Either way Luisi's claim is just silly. Even in the late 1990s he ran a small rag tag crew that had little going on in terms of rackets. Nevermind whoever is left now.
