With stand up guys like Johnny Ciancaglini and Mazzone on top and old school guys like Licata around the family is far from extinct. I think its easy to forget the fact that Ligambi ran the family from 99 to 2011 without getting indicted, and most likely grew the family a little bit (1 in 2005, 7 in 2007, probably more) and most importantly, stabalized the organization. Its easy to get clouded by the fact him and the org have been UI since 2011, but there was a period of quiet before then.

Exactly. Plus all the Scarfo guys getting out and the new guys waiting to be made (that Ligambi refused to). They have solid number of tough street guys and are quite resilient.
