It depends on how you look at it on the whole. The FBI was correct in hitting them in the bread basket. They got to their most sacred and time honored principle: Omerta, the code of silence. Start turning the screws on the underlings give them immunity in turn for another wrung on the ladder on the way up. That being said, I think that we are seeing a smaller,leaner, and perhaps smarter organization now. The syndication is now white collar and secret. This is only applicable in the US and with regard to the Sicilian/Napuletan' organization. The Russians and Chinese are still very active, as are the European conglomerations in Sicilia and Napuli. The biggest organization of them all? You see them in Washington everyday.
