Has there ever been a family that went from Powerhouse to being defunct as fast as the Milwaukee Family?

Milwaukee at one time Was a family that you just didn't fuck with. Then it seemed you woke up the next day and they were gone like a brood of cicadas dying off.

Wtf happened?

Bump

It was mostly the balistrieris running things at that level of notoriety. Once frank died, his sons probably werent that much into the life and moved onto other things, then the rest of the guys left were more calm. There are guys left but they are lowkey and do mostly gambling, ect. Nothing too big id imagine.

Would it be fair to say that once the old man died, the sons and the guys that were left handed day to day operations over to the Chicago Outfit with the agreement they would still get a cut of the action? Similar to when a business owner dies, and the kids really dont' want to run the company. They let someone else run it with the agreement of still earning a paycheck working for the business in some way shape or form but with less responsibility.
