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.
It's funny isn't it, I mean I thought they were all one big Cosa Nostra. But the reality is that they don't really want to help each other at all, not unless they personally gain something from it.
