Is the Mafia Really Gone? Or Has It Just Changed?
For years, people have been asking the same question—Is the Mafia truly dead? Today, I’m breaking it all down. As one of the few remaining guys who lived through the golden era of organized crime, I’ve seen firsthand how the game has changed.
With modern technology, surveillance, and laws designed to take down entire organizations, can groups like the one I was once part of even survive? I talk about the impact of laws that changed everything, how I saw the writing on the wall, and why I stepped away before it was too late.
I also dive into what’s happening overseas—the struggles of the groups still operating in Italy and Australia and why they’re facing an uphill battle.
Is the old way truly over, or has it just evolved into something new? Let me know what you think in the comments.
