n fact, during the family secrects trial,they said there were 60 active made members. However, they were talking about the recent past. That number came fron Nick Calabrese, himself. My uncle is Joey Lombardo. He was wrongly convicted in the case. I was present at the Family secrets trial. Your facts are wrong. The F B.I. MADE THAT LOW ESTIMATE AFTER THE FAMILY SECRETS TRIAL NOT DURING THE TRIAL. DURING THE TRIAL, THE ONLY NUMBERR THAT CAME UP WAS 60 BY NICK CALABRESE. HE ALSO SAID THER WERE 6 STREET CREWS.Again, he was talking about the recent past. I KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW THE oUTFIT OPERATES THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW IN YOUR FUCKING LIFETIME.


Both the quotes below came out in 2007 - 5 years ago. Hardly outdated information. And there was a snippet in one article about Calabrese identifying 60 members. But it didn't really expound and the media often uses the term "member" in a very generic and loose sense.


"We have 28 made members of the Chicago Outfit roaming in the Chicagoland area. We have over 100 associates of the Chicago Outfit," Grant said. - Robert Grant, FBI

Mallul estimates the Outfit has about 30 "made" members and a little more than 100 associates. (John Mallul is the supervisor of the FBI's organized crime unit in Chicago)

Maybe you're related to Lombardo. And maybe your not. That's the problem with claims made on the internet. There's usually no way to prove it. And again, even if you are related to Lombardo, that doesn't mean you would know the current manpower of the Outfit.
