There are many sources that help to understand who is made and who not,more come from the surveillance and other from informant in the other families. The mobsters speak on who's who and the feds record the conversations.
The Genoveses hierarchy use a ruling panel mode so even the other families at the meeting must deal with a different people everytime and the fact that no high ranking genoveses flips let more difficult to understand who is the boss.

Venero Mangano was made way before 1976; We are talking 20-25 years before then.

Where’s @Pizzaboy when you need him.

The Genovese family is too secretive
They have always been underground, now with the current state of LCN, and the fact that L.E. does not have programs like the "Top Echelon Informer program" lastly, the FBI cutting down their resources, one more thing there hasn't been a high ranking defector in the Genovese family is a very long time.

The bottom line is the gov"t has no idea of what's going on inside the Genovese LCN family.

One way that the Mafia benefits from having 5 Families in NYC is it makes it harder for the FBI to keep track of them all. If the city only had one borgata it would probably be wiped out by now. You severely hit 3 Families, then the other two gain strength, and back and forth.
