So if that's true then the all mob (not only the bonanno's) are really making a come back since they lose their power in the late 80s/early 90s

It's no secret the mob has been recovering, Meyer. The FBI now only has two New York crews fighting the Five Families. The Jan. 2011 "Mafia Takedown Day" was almost a grand finale for the feds because a few months after that was when they first dismantled the separate crews for each of the Five Families and merged the Colombos with the Bonannos once more, as well as reducing the amount of agents across the board to only 45. Two years later, that number plummeted to 25 and the Genovese squad was merged with the Bonanno/Colombo squad and the Gambino squad was merged with the Luccheses. Here's a New York Post article about the situation:
