[gamefather]

they still have the real mob but the big bosses are in sicily chicago and new york it's not like the old days where everything was payed off or rigged

[Luppi]

The mobsters in Chicago are "animali",the ones in Boston are gavones,so the best area is New York and New Jersey.

[Muggy]

The mobsters in Chicago are "animali",the ones in Boston are gavones,so the only good area is New York and New Jersey.

The Outfits power and influence completely rivals that of the New York Mafia because it is the only criminal organization that has complete monopoly of organized crime in the entire city of Chicago, unlike the New York Mafia which has five families all competing with each other for control of racketeering activities in New York's city. The Chicago Outfit also has interests and control throughout the central US and as far away as Las Vegas and some parts of Florida.

Chicago is by no means less than New York and New Jersey.
