We've gone from Phil Leotardo's "you don't ever admit the existence of this thing!" to social media posts ending in #mafia #madeguy #cosanostra #lcn.

The vestiges of it will linger for years and among the vestiges will be the occasional burning embers of real crimes that remind everyone of the roots of this thing and where it came from; of that I have no doubt - but holistically, this thing of ours is done, done, done. Its most fearsome side exists now only on Netflix, Prime and whoever else is carrying the catalogues of David Chase and Martin Scorsese.

It will carry on in Italy and Canada and other pockets around the world, but those organizations will bear no resemblance to the social media-savvy five families + Philly.
