I don't believe the Outfit is "dead" so to speak. I think they are the most viable family out there besides New York. I'm getting the impression that DiFronzo and the older guys aren't making a huge effort to keep it going since they are mostly legit and are friggin millionaires. I feel like one of two things will happen: it will die out like no nose said or it will break off into small sub gangs doing small scale gambling, extortion, loansharking etc.
From what I read on ANP this is sort of what happened. That the outfit has turned into 2 separate groups. North/south. That the north-DiFronzo has basically gone legit, to some extent. They have there millions and they haven't made guys in 20 years or so. And that the South side is much more blue collar. Gambling/loan sharking/video poker/etc.
Will probably become more so as the years go on.
Great reading on ANP about the outfit if anyone is interested. Learned more there in a month than reading books for ten years.
