Because the feds turned their attention to counter terrorism after 9/11? I thought it was kinda funny how the Sopranos touched on this.
There was a bit of a delay between when the Mafia busts really started to die down, but yes 9/11 seems to be when it slowed. However Mafia busts have domino effects that last for decades which is why the busts didn’t simply tail off straight after 9/11.
