I think the Massino/Bonanno trials were the last successes for the FBI. If you you at their recent indictments and busts they've not had close to the same success. These guys don't bother going to trial anymore, they take their plea deal, get half the time and live with doing 5-15 years.

Look at the recent Gambino bust. D'Amico, Cefalu, Jojo Corozzo, Cali, DeCicco all got between 8 months and 2 years...that's a joke since these guys are all heavy hitters in the family.

The feds still haven't been able to really nail the Genovese hard to this day. The Gambinos haven't been nailed since the John Gotti trial where half the Capos went away. The Lucchese's haven't been touched in five years and now Crea and Caridi (Underboss and Consigliere) are back out.

I'll have more later
