I want to add that people tend to forget that the Black & Hispanic underworld of Chicago have their syndicates as well. You have to understand it's more than street gangs.
I sure do, hence the quote marks.

Have you given a read to the article I linked about the Outfit and street gangs? What’s your opinion?
I actually read that some years ago. It's mutual benefits for both groups as with any other criminal element. Check out some of my past threads which have plenty of conversations on the LCN/Street Orgs interactions.
I digress though. Outfit is still active just wouldn't expect feds to roll out indictments every other year when it's lightweight syndicate ( membership wise). Same can be said with Chicago street gangs that are the same size or somewhat larger than the Outfit ( literally are a dozen or so street orgs of comparable size).
