Not a full blown family. Maybe not even a full blow regime or crew. But quite possibly a few stragglers still plying their trade of booking sports, or running a card game or two.

One to two made members (or not). Or possibly a few mob associates still trying to earn a few.

99% of these secondary locations where organized crime once thrived still have some smoke smoldering in the shadows. But are they a real "presence?" probably not


Theres 100% more than this going on in Kansas City about 15 made members and theyre involved in everything from Fencing stolen goods to strip clubs to skimming ATM machines to Sports Betting

Heres articles from a few years ago

According to the filing, the FBI believes “that Vincent Pisciotta is a ‘made member’ of the Kansas City LCN and that Mark Sorrentino is a close associate of that criminal enterprise.”

“LCN” refers to La Cosa Nostra, another name for the Mafia.

"From 2011 through 2013, Civella owned and operated a company called C Management Group, LLC, which serviced 35 ATMs in the Kansas City, Mo., metropolitan area. The money in the ATMs belonged to U.S. Bank. Civella stole $330,040 from the ATMs by obtaining a maintenance code to access the machines. Civella moved money between the ATM machines in order to conceal the theft."






This is from 2010 in the Sports betting and Fencing stolen property pleas...11 witnesses were cited for contempt for refusing to testify and spent over 1500 days total in custody....

A March 1986 raid on DiBernardo's office seized alleged "child pornography and financial records." As "a result of the Postal Inspectors seizures [a federal prosecutor] is attempting to indict DiBernardo on child pornography violations" according to an FBI memo dated May 20, 1986.
Thousands of pages of FBI Files that document his involvement in Child Porn
