Clearly not dead, just look at how well the Genovese family are doing, Gambino's have restructured a bit and still have a huge family, made some smart choices in terms of leadership, ie Cefalu and Cali.

The next 5 years are huge for the Lucchese's, if Crea can steady the ship they can get back on the right path, saying that they could easily go down the same road as the Bonannos or even worse the Colombo's.
