This article is a WP:Close paraphrasing of http://www.americanmafia.com/Cities/San_Francisco.html. About 75% of the sentences have direct parallels in that source, are all in the same order, and the information is just being tweaked slightly. As just one example, note:
source: "While boss he attended the raided mob summit known, as Apalachin in November 1957" (note grammatical error)
article: "While boss he attended the raided mob summit known, as Apalachin in November 1957"
Close paraphrasing is not a defense against copyright violation, and this has been explained to the author of the article previously. They refused to discuss this. A similar previous version was deleted by Orangemike a week or two ago as a copyright infringement. It appears the author tweaked that version a little more and reposted it.
