There are small presences in places like Chicago, Boston, NJ, Detroit, South Fla, etc. There's likely a bigger presence in NY, but make no mistake...it's an absolute shell of what it was and it ain't getting stronger anytime soon.

It's been alluded to here that in the coming years there will likely be some gambling busts, and i agree with that. However, that is only because as gambling becomes legal on a national level, the G is going to take out any kind of potential competition. That will likely be the extent of it. The days of mob wars, and killing people and all that is over. None of the families have power like that any longer. Unless they want to bring down a shit storm on themselves, that is.

Cosa Nostra will always be a huge part of history, and in my opinion, there will never be another criminal organization like it again. But the glory days are long gone, and I really doubt that they'll make any kind of comeback. This is all a long winded way of saying Mancuso isn't going to whack anyone.


This brings up a good question. Will we ever see a decline in cartel activity in the United States in say 20-30 years? Just like what has happened with the Italian American mob? Also will the cartels in general resort to other ways of conducting business without using violence?
