Guys like Jimmy Burke, Joe Watts, maybe Jimmy Coonan, Willie Boy Johnson and probably a lot more Italianss and Sicilians were like "made associates" where they were treated like soldiers, with the full backing of the Family to do business, but never would be made part of the Family for whatever reason. Pimps and madame would be under the umbrella of a soldier and would be associates, but on a lower level than the names I listed above. Richard Basciano who ran Sex World on Eighth Ave and shared an office with Roy DeMeo was another one of these characters, Ruby Stein too.
