Here's a few more questions!
1.What if made guy doesen't pay his Captain weekly?I mean,if he doesen't pay on time...
2.Does Capo decide how much they're going to pay?
3.Do associates hang with crew and captains and do they get involve in mafia business,killing and paying tribute to Capo?
4.When associate needs to kill a man to get his bones made,does he kill a man he knows,a man that mob contracted (that betrayed them) or some random man?
Hi. Did you get those books that people mentioned in this thread? They go into a lot of that. Turnbull also wrote a lot on the subjects you mention. The answer to all your questions is 'it depends".
1) Not paying agreed upon tribute on time and in full amount is a very bad idea. A made man may just be in captain's bad books for a while, he may have to go to loan sharks and get deeper in debt, he may get tasks/assignments that are degrading, he may be treated with disrespect by captain and other ranking members, he may be subjected to physical/verbal abuse, he may be killed. It all depends on the whims and needs of the captain and the boss and who else that particular soldier is connected to. Usually killing someone for something like that is the very last straw-if you're working for a reasonable captain.
2) Each captain sets his own rules for each member of his crew.
3) There is a very wide range of power, age and wealth in "associates". Some theoretically have as much or more power than some made members; others are pathetic wannabees. Some associates have their own crews of criminals to run; others are gofers for made members. Some report to captains; others report to soldiers or even other associates.
4) It is not really a requirement any more to kill to be formally inducted. But if that is part of the desire of that particular family, there is no telling who the associate may be asked to assist in killing.
