What I mean is having a criminal structure in place that has an impact on the areas it operates in. It will never reach the heights of power it had in previous decades where it was literally on par with the United States government in terms of power. This is in part because the government would never allow it and because the talent pool is not what it used to be. But i believe the government took its foot off the gas and has allowed the mob to regenerate some. If the government kept on them strong, the American mob possibly wouldn't have been no more in 20-25 years
