The power that was the Chicago Outfit has faded pretty rapidly since the mid 1990s. It seems that no one new has been made since the 1980s. On the one hand, largely the same players are still in power for the past 20-30 years. But as members are sent to prison, no one has been replaced.

Into the 1980s, Chicago had LA and Las Vegas. They also had casinos throughout the world (Spain, Latin America, etc.) well into the 1990s, at least according to Michael Corbitt a la Hy Larner. Now it's down to Chicago and Aruba.

As the current members age, there seems to be no one replacing them in Chicago like in Philly, Jersey, Boston, Detroit. Philly and Jersey rebuilt the organization from the ground up in the 2000s. It's almost like the guys at the top in Chicago don't want to replace anyone. Or is there a group standing by waiting to rebuild?
