Do soldiers have a crew of their own that they are put in charge of when they are made? Im wondering if the promotion of being made comes with being a gang-leader with your own underlings.
Its a newbie question I know, but trying to learn more about how the structure of the mob works. I was slightly confused when I read that the Philly mob has more soldiers that it does associates so it seems like the soldiers in that family are basically on their own.
Absolutely, so do associates in many cases. Here's a good example of the Bonannos with a crew in Florida led by associates Thomas Fiore and the Rubbo brothers. Alessi also has ties to New England.
