They have a history of extorting money from local businesses,and they give good Italians bad names.Since some African American,Hispanic,and Asian gangs took over,little of the Mafia's actions are present,but I am still wondering if there are still some that exist,because if they do,something tells me that they will make a come back.

The Mexican Mob & Russian Mafia are the most powerful prepared crime clothing lately. the classic u . s . Mafia, the Italian l. a. Cosa Nostra is a shadow of that is former self. there replaced right into a pretend ideology formerly contained in the decade of the U. S. depending Mafia creating an outstanding comeback with the FBI now being concentrated totally on Muslim extremist terrorism, besides the undeniable fact that the guidelines & charges exceeded to consistently surveil each little thing in u . s ., to boot to the hyper-surveillance society of increasing technologies that the U. S. has grow to be has prevented that comeback from fairly happening. trust it or no longer, between youthful Italian adult males residing on the East coast(the position the Mob flourished), they fairly are not as interested in LCN anymore. that is fairly considered a negative occupation course and one which would want to purely be considered as a very last motel decision. The lengthy penitentiary sentences, lack of loyalty between mobsters, extreme stress & paranoia that incorporates the job, and decreased luster linked with Mobsters has fairly replaced the way many Italians view the Mob. customarily, there merely isn't as a lot money in it anymore. the days of difficult artwork racketeering, fraudulent inventory marketplace scams, and controlling playing is over. there is merely no longer as a lot money to be made contained in the Mafia now. The Mafia flourished at a time at the same time as Italians were nevertheless discriminated hostile to, and the purely human beings they felt they could derpend on were different Italians. that is unlike that anymore. those days, they locate as white human beings more desirable than they do as merely being Italians residing in u . s . like they did in many years previous. The Italians have now joined that type of human beings that obtain further possibilities and given extra reward than they did 50 years in the past.
