If the other Families could take a page out of the Genovese book the entire New York Mafia could be strong again.
But how
There are even any young italian americans who will join the mob ?
Because they aren’t recruiting the right ones. Because they are stuck in the 20th century. Most of the old rackets are gone and you don’t need as much muscle for the new ones. There’s a ton of money out there to grab but it’s more sophisticated now. Just look at hacker shit like ransomware attacks. Put up more walls to protect from ratting and go after talent with the skills for organized crime in 2021. Bring in muscle from the other side and insulate that against ratting too.
