Long Island guy. One reason The Outfit is interesting is there's rarely a concrete answer on anything.

In present state I doubt they could be too powerful. All the old timers are dead. The Cicero Crew, who has been leading things for the past 30 years (Joe Aiuppa > Joe Ferriola > Sam Carlisi > James Marcello) can't be going too strong now that James Marcello is locked up for life and the rest are dead. It's a single crew that's remained in power for a long time, with a clear successor to each caporegime. But not anymore, and I think that's the sign of the current state.

Anyway. My questions never get answered because I tend to drag on forever. To put it simply. While protecting Las Vegas skim, Spilotro murdered 5 casino employees. But no records of who they are or how it was done have ever surfaced. Seems odd because we know so much about Spilotro.
