They also went after Genovese and Bonanno. I bet we will see people making deals left and right here.

I also think it is safe to bet that these families are going to dissolve and not last much longer. I think the Mafia will be the thing of the past.

If you think the Mafia is going to disappear, your intelligence is questionable. Much larger "sweeps" and busts have been made in the past, all to no avail.
The current Mafia has seven major "families," all of which originate in Italy. They have more influence now than ever.

They have lost more influence then ever since the Commission trials. They are now nothing more then street gangs. Bloods and Crips have more power then the Mafia does anymore. The Mafia is going to be a distant memory soon.

Organized crime and streets gangs operate in different ways. They both have as much power as ever.
