Here's the report right here, cook. Where in it is there any mention of 60 current made members?

All we have is on page 3 where it reads "Nicholas Calabrese will also testify about and identify persons who are current made members of the Chicago LCN. Nicholas Calabrese will also testify about the structure of the Chicago LCN and the chain of command for the Chicago LCN from the late 1960's through the present."

In other words, he covered the Outfit's membership both past and present.



That 60 figure comes from Chicago Sun-Times reporter Steven Warmbir, who was covering the Family Secrets trial. Part of what he said in the link below reads:

In addition to the 14 murders, Calabrese confessed to, he told prosecutors about:
--22 other additional mob murders he knew about
--4 attempted murders
--5 bombings
--2 extortions
--60 names of made men in the Outfit

Again, he's obviously covering things past and present. And considering we had the FBI in Chicago cite 25-30 members, there's no reason to assume Calabrese was talking about 60 current made guys.

This all makes sense if people will take the blinders off and go with the available facts rather than wishful thinking.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
