I agree with you on activity and that there not really strong has the eastern families but viable to me just sounds like as I said a semblance of a hierarchy. So is that chart got guys who are really associates then?
Which chart are you referring to? Mcscott has come out with one just about every year since 2006. The guys he has listed in the past who are obviously associates are ones who aren't even Italian. Yet, he would sometimes list them as "soldiers." Not sure why he did that. I'd bet a good chunk of the guys on the charts that show 50+ members are associates and not all made.
