Fraud
Further, technological progress has changed everything about society and the criminal element is no different. The wisest of the wise guys have largely adapted, accordingly. At a glance, in similarity to the Japanese Yakuza, much of the day-to-day operations of the Outfit could even be considered somewhat legitimate. While there are still some in the lower levels that attempt to maintain rackets that would seem criminally traditional, so to speak, like everyone else they've largely moved online and into business practices like insurance fraud (notably, Medicare/Medicaid and Worker's Comp) and construction contracting involving bid scams, etc., to name a few. Make no mistake, the Outfit is still around and maintains a presence in the Chicago region, even if many of its members have moved out to the suburbs and the "old neighborhood" is mostly where the old-timers like to go to reminisce about the "good ol' days."
