Where ya been. The mob is mostly dead. The FBI went after Italian mobs. The Russians,Asian and hispanic mobs have more power today.

There’s a great scene in the final scene of The Sopranos, where one of the New York mobsters is walking in Little Italy, only to find when he was finished with his phone call, he was in Chinatown, and in the background you heard a tour guide talking about how the size of Little Italy had shrunk. A perfect metaphor for the decline of the Italian mafia.

LOL - she was an actor too, not a mobster. But good points on the other mobs. I watched tons of movies and videos of the NYC mob takedowns - wild stuff! Wound up that Irish dudes in Hell’s Kitchen even scared the crap out of the ‘legitimate’ mafia, about the only white group able to do that.

All of which pale in comparison to the government mob which takes a piece of everything you have all the time.

NO.. the ‘mob’ is decidedly NOT dead. They just go by another name. Something about FBI or something....any time ‘some people did something,’ the FBI is involved from the outset....
