Ivy, do you think chicago have any members under the age of 70? haha and what do you think their ranks look like as far as numbers?
Some of the members under 70 have been posted above. There aren't many, whether or not Chicago is still making guys. It all goes back to the attrition factor and what happens to a family like the Outfit no longer has a core of made guys.
Now, that's not going to happen tomorrow but we've seen the effects of attrition. The Outfit is down from 7 or 8 crews to 4 at most. 25-30 members and a little over 100 associates according to the FBI.
Ivy sorry to be another to bombard you with questions. So Detroit mostly has old guys that don't want their family involved?
If so even if they die out I think they had a good run just wondering if so far they've had a happy ending
Even Scott says most of the younger generation isn't going into "the life." And all that means is Detroit is following the same path many now defunct families have as the LCN tradition slowly dies out and the children of mafiosi join other Italian-Americans in those cities as part of legitimate, mainstream society. We've seen the same in Chicago too.
We see attrition in the Northeast too but it's effects are happening at a slower pace, especially in the NY metro area.
