I think they still exist, but I'd guess most of their money comes from legal sources now. I grew up with Italian neighbors, and over the years one of their sons let slip enough hints to convince me. Example: one time he said his father had some business partners visiting from New Jersey, and they came down to purchase several parcels of land in a nearby town to build restaurants. A few months later, there was a story on one of the TV news programs that Mafia families were investing in restaurants in that town. I heard "coincidences" like that all the time, enough to convince me anyway...
