Maybe it wasn't intentional, but notice how the guy who made that post is already making a difference between "made guys" and "soldiers." When, by definition, a soldier is a made guy. If he had said "associates," that would have been more correct. At least as far as semantics go.
Good catch.
For some reason, I don't quite care about Chicago. And it's not the lack of info...dunno.See, I have to agree with DPG. There's something about Chicago and the relevant dearth of info. It's also interesting how Chicago guys in particular often make the claim that their hometown's mob is so much different then the rest of the country's like it's the one city that bucks the general trend. That if the Feds have it wrong just once, they've got it wrong about Chicago.
As far as the
Italianization of the Outfit's one-time multicultural make up, the last non-Italian 'member' of note to my knowledge was Frank 'The German' Schwiehs. Apart from him, it seems like nearly every other major non-Italian associate was eventually flipped or murdered (William Dauber, Daniel Seifert, Emil Vaci) I may be wrong on this, but Id agree with wiseguy when he points out that the Outfit became more Italo-centric in modern times.
