the problem with the decalvacante family is that after a big bust like the one they suffered years ago, its hard for them to regain control of the rackets they had. the reason is that the other five families will quickley move in and, like hyenas, pick up the pieces. even if the family is able to stabilize, its not like they really have enough clout with NY to get back what was once thiers. this is a unique situation in todays mafia, as attrition seems to be the death bell for most families but i believe competition could be the reason the decalvacante family makes the transition from viable to non-viable.
Could they not make deals with the New York Families? Divide the rackets. I will be the first to admit the New Jersey Family is weak but they'rs still somewhat viable.
And also whats up with Frank Guarraci? Is he still on the street despite being indicted?
