back in the 70's and 80's and even 90's the mafia was really powerful in NYC. people feared them and they were treated like royalty like they could get a table at the best restaruant in NYC without reservations and evberyone just respected them. but you never here about the mafia anymore so im wondering are they still doing well today? like are they still respected and are they making big money still?

They are still doing just as well as they were back in those days.The thing is it's not in the public as much because they like to keep it more private.When Gotti was running the Gambino family he liked the attention of the public and he wanted us to fear him and even though the families that are running things now are just as powerful, they don't like the public attention.
Right now there is a power struggle between the Genovese and the Gambino families.They are on the brink of a mob war and once that is over and a family takes majority control you will likely hear more about the mob and how they are running things.But no need to worry the mafia will always be alive and well, you can count on that.

Yes, they are alive and well. All of the most infamous crime families, the Bonanos, the Genovese, and the Gotti's are under the leadership of second, third, or fourth generation heirs.

The have gone mainstream. By distributing their operations across the company and globalizing their franchises they have created a lower public profile while increasing revenues and preserving stakeholder value.
