There's been 5 or 6 from what I can tell. Sometimes not even an Italian involved, much less somebody definitely affiliated with the local LCN family.

That's just it. If we're speaking in relative terms here, it's not "very much" alive. One can argue it's not dead yet but it appears it will be the next family to cross that line to becoming defunct. It's certainly doesn't have the size or level of activity that some still claim it does.
