Does the outfit have any modern day connections/rackets/interaction with the families in nyc, philly, new england?


Some guys may know some other guys, and there may be some familial relations but I'm hard pressed to think of any real business connections. Bonanno soldier Vincent "Elmo" Amarante operated a strip club in Chicago back in the late 1990's/early 2000's but I'm not sure if the Outfit had a piece of that or anything.

The mob really doesn't have the nationwide union presence to need intersecting interests between New York and Chicago today. The same can be said about the "open territories" of the past.


I am aware of the Amarante adventure in Chicago, the Outfit most likely gave their blessing/got a small cut from his operations.

The mob doesnt really have any national racket that stretches from the west to the east that would require the intersecting cooperation of the Outfit and NY for its function. Not like the old days.
