But he also claimed that a recently indicted drug dealer with an Italian surname is mobbed-up. That's my issue. I don't think the mob is finished. Yes, many LCN groups around the country are extinct, but in places like NYC and New Jersey they will never go extinct. Saying that the mob is finished sounds so cliché and it's a bullshit cliché. It's nowhere near what it was, but gone for good? I doubt it. There have been recent indictments of KNOWN mobsters with zero mention of the Mafia, but Georgie Cap isn't one of them. He isn't a known mobster or mob associate.
Liggio, there will ALWAYS be some criminals, "mob guys" with Italian surnames. In years to come there will also most probably still be an Italian 'mob' of sorts. Even one still referred to as the Mafia! After all, you put three Italian guys together and you can call it a mob!

I'm talking about here in the United States of America. Italy and Sicily are another thing altogether. That is their birthplace and its a much different animal over there than here in the U.S. regarding penal laws, racket opportunities, etc. So thats a different conversation altogether...Italy will always have their Mafia.

But here in the U.S. there is NOTHING left to really make money with. 90% of the fucking traditional rackets organized crime once controlled are either completely legal now, have gone extinct for one reason or another, or have been taken over by the federal government and are under receivership like the unions. "The Mob" as we once knew it is virtually extinct!
All thats left is dealing drugs, taking a gun and committing a heist or robbery, or the occasional big-time fraud scheme (if a guy is even sharp enough for that, which most mob guys aren't.)

By the way, I DID NOT SAY there were NO mob guys left. But I said the life is completely over! And what do you think? Just because there are still guys out there in the street, you automatically think they know what they're doing? Or even know which way is up? Most of the guys who remain in this life today are nincompoops...They are a far cry from 'capable' and sharp mobsters of yesteryear who knew their way around. 90% of the guys today don't even know how to get out off their own way, let along know how to go about and make a living.
Just remember, down the road when it becomes accepted gospel, remember that you heard it here first.

PS: And lastly, as far as Capella goes. How in the world would you know whether he is, or is not, connected in some way with a wiseguy?
