I wouldn't say the Mob is dead, just diminished.

The last to go will be the New York 5 Families. That will take a long time and then it might be reduced to 2 or 3 Families.

The recruiting pool and desire is still there, just diminished with lesser talent.

The once mighty Chicago Outfit is in much worse shape for 5 reasons:

1) Smaller recruiting ground with the diminishing Italian neighborhoods.
2) Attrition.
3) Federal Prosecutuions from RICO.
4) Star players quit several years ago.
5) More opportunity for young Italian American men to make good money legitimately.
