Try asking the FBI. I'm only stating the facts. In the late 1980s the FBI estimated that the Genoveses had 275 made members while the Gambinos had 300. Considering that they didn't lose 100 guys in a decade, these numbers would likely be comparable to the late 1970s, after the books were re-opened and the families replenished their numbers. So the membership totals of these families in the 1980s would probably not differ much from their numbers in the 1950s. Since the late 1980s the New York families (especially the smaller ones) have only decreased slighly in numbers, but not significantly. For example, the Bonannos had 150 made members in the 1970s and only a decade ago they still had the same amount. The same goes for the Luccheses and Colombos.
