The Red Jewish Mafia ( Russian Mob ) ran the Italian mob out of the North Eastern US. Took over their cash cows and diversified
RICO crippled the Italian American mob, amongst a few other things. It wasnt the Russian mob lol.
Their cash cows(unions, garment district, piers/docks) were not taken over by another organized crime group. These cash cows were forced to go legit primarily with law enforcement cracking down. I've read a lot of books and literature about organized crime and I have never heard of them being pushed out by a rival group like the Russians. It never happened
The other comment about the Russians and some other group being twice as smart or whatever is laughable also. At its height, the mafia would be #1 On the fortune 500 list if we ranked them against legit companies. I wouldn't consider any of these groups 'smart', but let me know when the Russians put a man in the White House(Yea I know there's a perfect, albeit false response to this), are personally reached out to to help win a war, or would be considered the 2nd most powerful organization in the U.S. behind the federal government. What the mafia did here in the states will never be matched.

Pretty much all of this is incorrect.

More profitable than a top Fortune 500 corporation?

You really dont know what you are taking about. Do a little research and you will find that the Russians scams and rackets are immensely more sophisticated than anything the old mafia ever did.
The mafia would get together and play poker and drink. The Russians get together and have chess tournaments while reading the WSJ.
