Primarly because of my above reasoning.

I'm also from Chicago.

This stuff was in the paper and common knowledge for decades and decades. You almost never hear about it anymore.

Sarno went down last year for something that happened in 04.

Rudy Fratto got busted for trying to fix prices at McCormick recently but the judge determined it wasn't linked to organized crime.

They haven't killed anyone in six years.

The upper echelon has been decimated and I would expect that the only things DiFronzio, DAmico and Andriachhi want is to not die in jail.

Primarily, though, because of law enforcement. Either the Outfit have become geniuses, the FBI has become idiots or there is just not much going on.

I do believe there is probably a small amount of bookmaking still, and the video poker thing. But what makes the mob the mob? A couple of guys running a card came out in Melrose Park isn't the mob.
