Kennedy i think (maybe wrong), i know RFK was a big supporter of the Rico act. Really by the early 80s much of the US mafia's power was broken...

Southernfatman 08/03/23 7:05:34 PM #17:	Pretty much. Besides RICO being a major blow, there's a much smaller recruitment pool of future talent. They've lost most of their major union and political power they used to have. If you look at mafia family charts most of the guys on there are middle aged and older. New York is still doing ok and so is Philadelphia to a lesser extent. but other families have relatively few members. Still, they're down a bit, but nowhere near being out. TonyKojima posted...
