Most older, veteran members regardless of Family have retired or at least backed up in recent years.

90% of the fellas you see out there today are younger, inexperienced and trying to make their way. The few older fellas you see still active are typically "brokesters" and desperadoes who have to stay in the streets in order to feed themselves. The few others still bouncing around are just hopeless creatures of habit who have no clue about any other way to live their lives.

Few intelligent mafiosi who recognize the "lay of the land" are willing to engage. They realize it's a fruitless endeavor.

And that's the God's honest truth!
