I remember you writing that a member on the real deal forum who was considered to be an expert on the Outfit had stated that the Outfit peaked at 150 made members (who went through the ceremony) in the 1970s. So that number actually comes from you. I think it's reasonable to assume that the Outfit had that many back in those days. I'm thinking that they probably even had more in the 1950s, when they were at their height.
