There have been rumblings for years now about the feds building another large-scale RICO case against the Outfit. The popular cliche is that it will be the "sequel" to Family Secrets, encompassing current activity. Who knows? What I do know is that Outfit attorney Joe Lopez recently said, "the feds don't do anything before it's time," with regard to a question about organized crime in Chicago. My guess is that if the feds really do have something truly substantial on Anthony Calabrese, then they are going to try to parlay it into something bigger.
