That after 9/11 FBI and government diverted their attention away from organized crime to Terrorist investigations allowing the mob to re-group.
That's not a theory, it's a fact. The Feds did shift manpower from OC to anti-terrorism after 9/11. But how much an impact it had on OC is debatable.
Yeah, the indictments have continued to come. It may have given the mob somewhat of a breather, but the fact is, the feds don't need to devote as much manpower to it anymore. At least not compared to the 1980's and 1990's. But the concern is the manpower may be getting too small now. I think the FBI only has about 50 agents for the NY mob now and they've combined the Gambino and Luccheses squads together and the Colombo and Bonanno squads together.
