I said its over! And it has been for quite some time already. Not only in New England, but in the vast majority of states throughout the country where they formally operated. Not just over. But COMPLETELY over!

And I wasn't just referring to places like Madison, WI, Tampa, FL, and Pittsburgh, PA. But in the big cities also. It's over! Even the NYC crews are hanging on by a shoestring. And if you don't think so? Then I suggest you better think again!

PS: And if the FBI hasn't already disbanded many of their other 'organized crime squads' in other cities already without public announcements, they will be soon enough!

The dismantling of the NE office sets a major precedent for them and exposes a much deeper truth. I'm certain that other offices around the country can't be far behind.


That because the mob stop dropping bodies on the streets or be a huge drug trafficker. Its a sign of time and the mob will be confinated only in NY and NJ area. The top dogs are others.


No, I must disagree with you on that, Furio.

There is a myriad of reasons why the Mob is fading in America. And its got very little to do with 'dropping bodies on the street or being a huge drug trafficker' as you said.

Its got more to do with the higher education levels of Italians today and the vastly expanded opportunities for advancement that years back weren't available to them. The highly sophisticated technology and investigative techniques law enforcement has available to them today. The all-encompassing draconian laws such as RICO on the books today that have been successfully used to surgically dismantle Cosa Nostra and imprison mafiosi for lengthy periods of time. Etc., etc., etc. -- Or as they say, Yada, yada, yada!

Its over! And what's left of the Mob in NY and NJ is almost unrecognizable to what it once was! It's OVER I tell ya!


Yes but I wrote why the american mafia is consider a "dangerous organization" not why is fading.
In 1980s the mob was controlling unions,killing people and floating the streets with heroin ( 100 milioni a years). Now latino,black gangs and bikers are more dangerous organization and the feds must fight against it not using it resources for let a mobster get 30 months for gambling.
