Something that should be acknowledged is Bonanno did curate alot of his own income. He was a big earner (for himself obviously). And I agree with NYM about him not " putting money on the streets" as they say.
When it comes to the Family itself. I look at it like cereal. You got 5 types (Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, French Toast Crunch, Fruit Loops and Raisin Brand), inevitably, one is gonna get left on the shelf more often then not. There was so much competition in NY. The crews had stiff competition in Brooklyn and Manhattan from the other Families.
