DB, Thank You. I'm still recovering 28 years later. The Outfit's tremendous strength years ago really started to dwindle in the late 1980's and rapidly continued in the 1990's. The RICO Act that put Auippa, Cerone, Lombardo & LaPietra in prison was devastating to the Outfit. This happened around 1986. They basically lost Las Vegas because of these actions. This all happened in the late 1980's. By the time the Family Secrets Trial came about, the Outfit was already mostly crippled, operating at about 1/4 speed. I'm not saying the Oufit is dead, but I'm comparing it to when I was growing up. There is simply no comparison. The 5 New York Families and the Chicago Outfit were it during the 1950's, 1960's,1970's and about 1/2 of the 1980's. The Rico Act, Attrition and retreatment of the top current talent has all been equally devastating over the last 25 years to the Oufit.
