I'm curious to know this: how come the Outfit has gone from one of the most powerful crime families in the US, to supposedly a mid-sized family run by a bunch of old farts who barely do anything except shuffle around social clubs and run video poker machines and a few legit businesses.

New York, no many how many times the Feds hit them always come back. Even the Colombo's, hell they aren't going away. The Genovese Family controls the entire port of New Jersey even in this day and age.

I'm not saying it's true, but it just seems Chicago slided in a very short period of time.
