Before Capo, Rotondo and Palermo became informants, anyone know how big the DeCavalcante family was? Over 40 members were arrested, idk if everyone was made but with their 50 members today wouldn't it make them 90-100 members strong? how come they always been pushed around by Philly and the Five families? they seemed to be just as large as any other family at that time.
Not sure where you got that 40 number from. 21 people were involved in the big indictment in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Even if it was 40, that would include members and associates. And we don't stop counting them just because they are in prison or inactive. Anyway, the most recent figure is 40-50 total members.
