I was typing after you posted this lol. Anyway Chicago 25-30
may i ask where this is from?
In 2007, the FBI stated they had 28 "made" members of the Outfit (see link below)
Other article in the last few years have said 25-30, though some said as high as 50. But the 28 figure seems the most believable to me. It's more exact and is not just a rounded-off estimate.

It has also been pointed out before how there is likely some guys in the Outfit who, though not technically made, have membership status. A guy like Joey Lombardo, for instance. You'll notice he wasn't cited as a "made" member in the Family Secrets case. And that's probably because he was already a high-ranking figure in the Outfit before they instituted the fire and blood ceremony in the 1970's or whatever.
