I'm sorry if it's a stupid question, but what usually stops the old timers from earning? I imagine the made guys have long established rackets and associates to use as muscle. Is it simply younger guys of same rank taking over their business and them not being able to do anything about it or is it real old age stuff, you know, losing your memory/witts?

The same reasons that prevent any other eighty-year-olds from working. Health reasons, the will to retire, etc. They're just people.
