Theres almost enough guys with the last names TOCCO and GIACALONE in Detroit to make your estimate of 25 members?Actually between 15-18 "made" guys with just those last names that are active in the Detroit Partnership/Combination.I believe your size estimate to be unaccurate as far as Detroit and a few others. Also we know that every city has atleast a few "Made" men to take care of Business even if its just a small crew from another Family like Detroit taking care of Business in some spots in Canada,etc and other familys as well or for instance the Bonanno crew in Massachuetts,etc.Every city who has lost there Major family has had another family pick up and take whats left to make $$$ on even if its only a couple of men taking care of business.Theres always strip clubs,gambling,loansharking,etc.
I go with the official size estimates put out by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. And I do so while looking at consistent patterns over an extended period of time. You choose to ignore official estimates in favor of your own assumptions, which are in turn based on wishful thinking. That's been obvious for a long time. Not everyone will the last name Tocco or Giacalone should just automatically be assumed to be a made guy.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
