I'm sure every city that once had a family still has people who are active, especially in gambling. That was one of the original vices and I think the reason the Genovese have stayed powerful this long is because they always kept their shit together when it came to those vices, those things bored men will always want. Sex (still illegal to pay for in most places), gambling (still illegal or heavily regulated most places), loansharking (still illegal everywhere), and these are the vices least prioritized by law enforcement. Get into drugs and it's another story.
But the days of corrupting unions (at least to the degree that they were a half century ago), political fixing, high end corporate rigging? Long gone, never coming back. Too much oversight, plus Wall Street has made many of these rackets legal and took them over.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
