After the 1940s-1950s era, the FBI and local law enforcement agents said the member son the S.F. Lanza Family was generally speaking, aging and mostly in legitimate businesses. Very few were still active in the daily rackets. And the ones that were mostly handled gambling and low-key activities. The borgata was already on the wane.
