jonnynonos, Talk about fetish. Look at the profile of Ivy league. He has pictures of all these New York mafia guys on his profile like he worships them. I stopped arguing with Ivy because he doesn't really know shit about the Outfit. He only knows what he reads on the internet. In 1997, the feds said that the Outfit had 70 made members with 3 street crews and 700 to 1200 associates! Then in 2007, the feds said there were 28 or 30 made guys with over 100 associates. Okay, I can understand where the made guys total went down, but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 700 TO 1200 ASSOCIATES THAT THE FEDS SAID WERE WITH THE OUTFIT 10 YEARS EARLIER???? THEY ALL DISAPPEARED OVER NIGHT???
First, I don't know who you're looking at, or if you're just lying, but I don't have any photos of anyone on my profile.
Second, even though I've now said it twice in two different threads, I guess I have to do it one more time.
The 70 member figure given by the CCC in 1997 was just an estimate. And if you take away the Outfit members who have died since then, it matches up with the 28-30 members cited by the FBI in 2007.
As for the associates, it's going to be a more flexible figure, given the fact that definitions of what makes an associate differs. But the Outfit's smaller core of made members today makes a little over 100 associates more plausible than 700-1,200 associates.
