I know a similar thread has been made about the recent bust of Paul Carparelli and his crew in Chicagoland. However, a few points to think about:

1) Did he ever appear on any Chicago Outfit chart, FBI or otherwise? I don't think he did. Yet, he even stated himself that he has been an Outfit affiliate for his entire adult life. If this is true, then the FBI doesn't know everything.

2) They found $175,000 in cash in his home. If in fact Carparelli is an Outfit street guy (blue collar not white collar), then the Outfit is still making some serious money. Granted, it's not the millions rolling in from Vegas or California in the 80s, but how many people have $175K in cash lying around?

3) Carparelli was extorting people in Nevada, Colorado, etc. Again, the Outfit is a shadow of itself 30 years later, but the reach still extends.
