it didn't sound like he had alot of actualy mafia members working for him
he should've made more people so he ain't have to be so hands on
Pittsburgh never did "make" a lot of guys, and that's the way they wanted it. They did have a lot of associates who were considered "high ranking" guys, many of whom were just as powerful as "made" guys in their own right.
Guys like Bobby Iannelli, Adolfo "Junior" Williams, Sal Williams, Tony Grosso, Frank Unis Jr., Ernie Biondillo, Paul Hankish, Melvin Pike, Lawrence Amodi, Bernie Altshuler, Alfred Corbo, Auggie Ferrone, Primo Mollica, Anthony Murgie (Charlie Murgie's nephew), Dante Strollo, John, Robert & Gerald Sabatini and Manny Xenakis...These were guys who were very close to the upper echelon of the family from the mid 1970's-through the 1990's. They brought in quite a bit of money and Mike gave them autonomy to operate.
