I wouldn't go that far. It still has a functioning hierarchy and there's been plenty of cases over the past 15 years to show ongoing activity. And it seems like they always have plenty of young guys waiting to get made. But juries, who come in with movie-influenced expectations about murders (which there have been some), get bored and almost disappointed when it's just bookmaking or video poker machines.

Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
