"Successful law enforcement efforts such as Joe Pistone’s “Donnie Brasco” operation in the Luchesse family"

Pistone infiltrated the Bonnano family not the Luchesse family. That's just one of many errors in this article.

The last tie to the 'Golden Age' of the mafia is gone.

The Deep State the new organizer of crime.

David Marcus??? :)

WTF is he and WTF does he know about the Italian Mafia??

NOTHING, from what I’ve read.

He must have missed the LOADS of Sicilians that have come over the past 2 decades and the VAST rebuilding after 9/11 when the feds were focusing on muzzies.

They are a multi, MULTI billion dollar operation bringing in millions from one aspect of their business alone.

The Sicilians are ruthless, disciplined and make the russians and albanians, who NEVER WERE and ARENT NOW nearly as organized as the Italian Mafia, look like amateurs.

About the writer...David Marcus is...also the Artistic Director of Blue Box World, a Brooklyn based theater project...

What is this guy, a WASP?? :)

I needed a laugh.

Damn straight this is the most ridiculous article I have read in a while.

Let this guy tend to his theater projects.

Or whatever he does on the side.

And the guy in the bar in The Godfather was Frank Pantanjelo.

The only criminal enterprise in America, bigger than the Mafia, is the Democrat Party.

Maybe.

But tiny cameras recording anything someone wants to record together with DNA testing have ended forever their ability get away with removing inconvenient people, particularly across flyover country.

The things nobody could know before, well, somebody just might.

“The only criminal enterprise in America, bigger than the Mafia, is the Democrat Party.”

The Italian Mafia was always within the Democratic Party’s coalition, especially in their control of labor unions.

Now that most of the heroin (and the general flow of drug profits) in the USA is coming through the Mexican cartels, and they and the Central American gangs field many more gunmen, they have greater sway in Party.

But Italian gangsters are still powerfully influential - Nancy Pelosi’s father was all mobbed up in Baltimore.

Skunk Cabbage is still alive, I think... and is making noises about running on 2020.

There will always be “Mafia”. FedGov pretty much decimated the Italian Mafia but has done a great job taking its place. In many cases,other ethnic demographics have filled the void like The Russian,Albanian,Ukrainian Mafias and Latin and Chinese Gangs.

They are not nice or honorable people. They are perverse.

Rudolph Giuliani decimated mafia power

He certainly cleaned up the "nonfat" yogurt scammers.
