LA family defunct or new boss
Since it says that Tommy Gambino is no longer boss of the family, who replaced him? Please tell me if the family is still active or defunct. Battlesnake1 (talk) 01:59, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
They're called charges. Whoever wrote this is illiterate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.89.77.110 (talk) 15:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Makes no sense
Under the section titled Current Membership, it states under the first bullet point that Milano is the current acting boss of the family. The bullet ends with the statement that Milano died in 2012. So, um...how can he still be the acting leader? --Rathyrye 23:24, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Is Alyssa Milano the new boss? Because that would answer the question. Who's the Boss? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.173.62.240 (talk) 06:21, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Did Bugsy Siegel really make Dragna crawl on all fours and bark like a dog?
Like in the movie Bugsy? My goodness. Seems Luciano, Siegel, Lansky, et al really ran LA, and just liked to have this LA family out there to take heat from authorities or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:204:C702:94B0:5B4:1EE2:C44F:D7B2 (talk) 18:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Mickey Cohen
Why does it say the family was led by Mickey Cohen and reached its peak under Mickey Cohen but in the rival section it says “Cohen crime family.” They’re two completely different criminal organizations. Cohen never led the Los Angeles Mob, it has always been run by Italians and always will be until it goes defunct entirely. RelatedToMarioPrayer (talk) 08:47, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
