I don't know, Luke, the Outfit still makes too much money pimping, racketeering, taking over unions and scamming the government to have diversified like their New York kin. The best thing that ever happened to them were all these stories about the death of the Italian mafia.

Funny story is the old underboss was released from prison, and one of the prerequisites of his parole was to avoid any contact with organized crime figures. So he took out an ad in every issue of the Reader up until pretty recently. The text read something like "If you are a member of any mafia, or any kind of a criminal, please stay away from me. Thank you."
