Don't know much about any other mobs but the Outfit. I would guess Chicago is down to 10-20 "made" members; the majority of their income now comes from the kind of pathetic racket of video poker machines in the dumpier suburbs around the city...haven't killed anyone (at least visibly) in about a decade.

I think the Outfit is more or less dead. The gist of the situation seems to be that there are just a handful of old timers sitting around collecting on their investments.

The young people smart enough to keep it going have no interest and those who might be interested in "joining" aren't smart enough.

There will always be a few guys hanging around claiming lineage probably but the link to the old organization will probably die with John DiFronzo.
