Not a good era for the Mafia, Beavis. The RICO law was in high gear. Four of the five New York Dons were indicted under RICO (the fifth, Vincent "Chin" Gigante, was still playing his non compos mentis role). Paul Castellano was murdered by John Gotti, who promptly ran the Gambino family into the ground. The other three went to jail for the rest of their lives.
