Firstly, is it really true the Genovese are staying away from drug trafficking? I'm sure you can find a few examples, but I'm saying relative to the other families.
Next, who were these loyal captains that The Chin bumped up that impressed the FBI?
Good point about starting at the top. To an extent, it was all laid out since the beginning. A good example is in the 30's, the Al Mineo Gang was noted for its high amount of made guys. The Gambinos never had to worry about replenishing their ranks.
