i doubt the 5 families are the size as reported
unless they're just making people for the sake of having numbers
the five familys have a massive recruitment pool i can name tons of young guys getting there button not like chicago or detrot were they are struggling for young guys.
guys 30s and 40s running crews not like chicago or detroit
as FBI agent jack falcone said in his book when he went undercover in the gambino family
he is going to know alot more than you about the size of the mob as he was in the mob for 2 years undercover"for every capo they take down a soldier steps up for every soldier a associate steps up every associate a wannabe steps up"
five familys are doing the best since the 90s
