Over the past month, I have been thoroughly researching the Kansas City underworld. What I found totally intrigued me. “The Outfit†as it is widely known, had been at the very forefront of police and political corruption, government infiltration, and casino skimming, for many decades. And that’s not even addressing their near total monolithic control over racket operations in the city and it’s outlying territories. So buckle up folks! Because you’re in for a wild ride! And now, without further ado.....The Outfit of Kansas City, Missouri! https://thenewyorkmafia.com/2021/02/05/kansas-city-mob/PS: It worked out real nice. Lol... because this weekend for the Super Bowl its the KC Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So I highlighted the "Chief" of the KC Outfit. Enjoy!

Kansas City is not alive
There is only between 4-10 made guys still alive from KC and all of them are ancient.
The FBI and just about every credible reporter/insider maintains that their are only 9 families left active. Outside of New York the remaining four are
Chicago New England Philly Jersey
The only two families still somewhat up in the air are Detroit and Buffalo

There may be some remnants left still active but Scott Burnstein stated this in 2015
“The Italian mafia in Kansas City is a small, quiet crime family, probably on its’ last legs with only a few loose remnants of a time when the syndicate operated on a much larger scale and held national prominence decades ago, per exclusive Gangster Report sources. These sources place membership in the K.C. mob at “a dozen people or less†and claim its rackets mostly consist of gambling and loan sharking.â€
There probably is a few old guys still making a bit of money in KC but it’s far from a serious family

Well if you notice fellas, I list approximately 25-30 or so members AND "associates".... thats very plausible to me.
Because if you have even 5-8 formal members or so left over. Each typically has a few "associates" who are around them. So my total of 25-30 total affiliates starts to make sense no?
I am sure they are not 100% dead. But have one foot in the grave. So a small handful of members, coupled with 2-3 associates each is viable IMO The list you made would indicate a highly structured organization with an administration, several captains and made guys. Nowhere else is this being reported by anyone credible, the organization you listed would be on par with what's left of Chicago. There hasn't been a mob investigation in Kansas City in over 11 years and even then it was reported that it was just a handful of old fucks with some gambling operations.

Well in 2000 (twenty-one years ago). It was said that was the basic structure. Now, as you say, there hasn't been any mob cases to speak of in years. So who knows who's still left standing, or active if they are still standing.
But the positions I gave were believed to be in place at that time. The "soldiers" and "associates" are a different story. Most of those listed I think may have been "associates" per se. But because I am not familiar enough with their membership, I wasn't gonna validate who is made and who wasn't understand?
But they were all still players "on the field" at that time. If you look at some of their ages, today they would be in their late 50s, 60s, 70s. Some are dead or incapacitated I'd imagine.
Nonetheless, regardless of how "formal" their hierarchy may or may not be at the moment. My point is that there is still a few guys left.
In comparison to a place like NYC, they don't even amount to one single crew we have here. But that doesn't mean they don't still book, shy a few loans, scheme a few things, etc

To sum it up they once skimmed from Vegas Casinos now they skim from ATM machines they operate and service(which Vince Civella was convicted of in 2013)

Was Binaggio well respected as a don? At the beginning yes he was, but he was doubled crossed by Forrest Smith. Binaggio made the mistake of putting all his eggs in one basket. His gambling plans did not fall through, he could not pay back the loans that Charles Fischetti of Chicago, Joe Adonis of the Genoveses, and there was one more, maybe Frank Costello, and it had cost some of the members in his own family a nice chunck of cash. Despite what some will say, the hit came from within his own family, I am sure Chicago, St. Louis, and New York did not need to convince the shooters to kill Binaggio and his enforcer.

Although Cosa Nostra is on the ropes nationwide today, and many of the smaller Families have indeed become extinct. It seems that the Kansas City Outfit is in the enviable position of still maintaining a functioning borgata.
As late as the early 2000s, mob historians and law enforcement reported the Kansas City mob as still active. Here is a known membership list of their small, but operational rank and file:
Johnny Joe Sciortino - semi retired resides in AZ Peter Sciortino - Underboss but the last name is Simone ----- Vincent Civella - James Moretina - Peter Ribaste - there are no capos William Cammisano Jr. -
------- Soldiers/Associates ------- Joseph Barletta IN ACTIVE ohn Calia DEAD Gerard Cammisano HIS NAME IS GERLARMO NOT GERARD Carlo Cavallaro CRAZE IS DEAD Anthony Chiavola Jr. DEAD Carmen Civella NOT IN THE LIFE John Cuezze Frank DeLuna Richard DeLuna DEAD James Di Capo DEAD John Mandacina IN PRISON Joseph Mandacina Benjamin Palmentere IN ACTIVE Eugene Picone IN ACTIVE Vincent Pisciotta IN PRISON 30 YEARS Joseph Ragusa RAGS IS DEAD Louis Ribaste LOUIE HAS BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS Anthony Sansone ASSOCIATE Michael Sansone ASSOCIATE Samuel Scardino INACTIVE Samuel Sciortino NEVER IN THE LIFE Anthony Simone INACTIVE Philip Simone big phil is dead little phil not involvec John Termini very old associate.
you forgot Joe Viglituro john Ribaste died this year Micheal Lombardo dead Paul Varsalona {made} died Tony Conforti dead Pat Obrien dead Paul Silvio active Joe Pete Simone Toiny Civella Jr. Chuck Ponti Dead Dominic Scola Sal Begulia Mike Badaluca Joe Moretina Mark Sorrentino IN prison 20 years
Sorry but this chart needs serious updating
---------------------- There are also most probably members and associates who are still unknown to law enforcement.
Thank you

I don't doubt that there may be a few of these fellas left over. Similar to many cities where there was once a major Cosa Nostra presence.
Not a full blown family. Maybe not even a full blow regime or crew. But quite possibly a few stragglers still plying their trade of booking sports, or running a card game or two.
One to two made members (or not). Or possibly a few mob associates still trying to earn a few.
99% of these secondary locations where organized crime once thrived still have some smoke smoldering in the shadows. But are they a real "presence?" probably not Theres 100% more than this going on in Kansas City about 15 made members and theyre involved in everything from Fencing stolen goods to strip clubs to skimming ATM machines to Sports Betting
Heres articles from a few years ago
https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2012/10/11/hereford-house-witnesses-have-ties-to.html
At a Tuesday hearing, prosecutors said they wanted to delay disclosure of two witnesses until the night before they testify. The motion makes it clear why: The witnesses fear for their safety.
It says they will receive money to relocate from Kansas City after their testimony.
According to the filing, the FBI believes “that Vincent Pisciotta is a ‘made member’ of the Kansas City LCN and that Mark Sorrentino is a close associate of that criminal enterprise.â€
“LCN†refers to La Cosa Nostra, another name for the Mafia.
https://www.columbiatribune.com/article/20141119/News/311199887 https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdmo/pr/kc-man-sentenced-stealing-330000-atms
"From 2011 through 2013, Civella owned and operated a company called C Management Group, LLC, which serviced 35 ATMs in the Kansas City, Mo., metropolitan area. The money in the ATMs belonged to U.S. Bank. Civella stole $330,040 from the ATMs by obtaining a maintenance code to access the machines. Civella moved money between the ATM machines in order to conceal the theft."
This is from 2010 in the Sports betting and Fencing stolen property pleas...11 witnesses were cited for contempt for refusing to testify and spent over 1500 days total in custody....
https://www.justice.gov/archive/usao/mow/news2010/cammisano.sen.html
These were the defendants and their ages Gerlarmo Cammisano, also known as “Jerry,†57, Vincent F. Civella, 53 Michael C. Sansone, 31 Anthony V. Sansone, 28 Michael V. Badalucco, 27 Charles J. Simone, 26 James J. Moretina, 61 William D. Cammisano, Jr., also known as “Willie,†61 Michael J. Lombardo, 55, James L. Dicapo, also known as “Jimmy,†58
