Per FBI standards they may be dead because they dont need to go after them at a federal level and resources go after the big drug suppliers there (Sinola) but per local and state law enforcement the family is still watched and several members are under surveillance. This is directly from law enforcement's mouth.

Mob watchers have counted all the families down and out many times over but that always seems to change. I think the NY Families have died about 20 times now.
