how long do you guys think until all the mafia activity outside the northeast ceases to exist? keep in mind this isnt counting mafia activity outside the northeast run by those same families. i think that 20 years from now the only family left outside the northeast will be the outfit and it will be interesting to see what kind of shape that they will be in by that point.
I'd bet even money on the Outfit being down to nonviable "glorified crew" status by then. I imagine old age will take care of much of the structure of the family and Italian-American assimilation will do the rest.
The wild card in this might be the "non-made guys with made guy status" thing, I suppose.
Here's a list of the Outfit confirmed (I think) made guys. Anyone know how old all these guys are? That might give an idea of what kind of shape the family will be in by then. Some of these guys might be dead already (the list is from 5 years ago).
Joseph Andriacchi (he's about 80)
Dominic Basso
Robert Bellavia
Frank James Calabrese (will die in jail)
Bruno Caruso
Frank Caruso
Leo Caruso
Marco D'Amico (late 70s I think)
John DiFronzo (83ish)
Joseph DiFronzo
Peter M. DiFronzo
Salvatore DeLaurentis
Rudolph Fratto (late 60s)
Michael Gurgone
James Inendino
Joseph Frank LaMantia
