There are some OK-ish charts floating around that will give you as good an idea as you're going to get. Check out Scott Burnstein's chart. It's not literal, IMO, i.e. characterzing all of those people as "soldiers" as if they're out there every day doing the Outfit's dirty work, IMO, is not accurate at all.

But if will give you a fair idea of who's involved... a lot of them are dead since that chart was put out though.

This is from some posters particularly Pete83 and McScott on the other side.

Andriacchi and Joe Kong Cullotta are both sick with cancer and are inactive/retired Fratto seems to be on the outs with the higher ups since his conviction and hasnt been that active in Elmwood Park for years. He operates his extorion rackets mostly in the western suburbs Pudgy Matassa was never the boss of Cicero. He drives around Solly D on his daily rounds

Boss John Difronzo Street Boss Vacant (Rumored to be either Solly C Cautadella or Solly D Delaurentis but no official word yet) Consiglieri Marco D'amico

Elmwood Park Boss Peter Difronzo

Grand Avenue Boss Albert Vena

Cicero Boss Salvatore Delaurentis

Chinatown Boss Frank Toots Caruso

Also interesting to note is the old wild bunch crew seems to still be active with Jimmy Inendino being the head of that faction. they are a subcrew of Cicero though as they always were.

Caporegimes: Elmwood Park Peter “Greedy Petey” Di Fronzo Crew Street Boss Rudy “The Chin/Uncle Rudy” Fratto (will be replaced by Don Scalise while locked up) & Michael “Mikey Mags/Good Looking Mike” Magnaficchi MP/Cicero/Lake Cty John “Pudgy” Matassa, Jr. Crew Street Boss Michael “Fat Mikey/The Beard” Sarno James “Jimmy the Ice Pick/Jimmy I” Inendino Michael “Big Mike” Spano West Side Joseph “Joe Kong” Cullotta Crew Street Boss Christopher “Christy the Nose” Spina South Side Frank “Tootsie Babe” Caruso Crew Street Boss Leo Caruso/Bruno Caruso

Great post Dapper
I've heard Andriacchi was sick but never knew Culotta was sick.
I can't find links about either of them. Does anyone have one?
As you can see there's way more than 28

123, i wasnt the one who made this list just sharing. I am aware the Outfit started using the formal making ceremony much later than most.

Who had the ceremony or not is a very confusing thing with the outfit. IIRC, Carlisi started it when he was boss, then it was kept on and who knows if it even still happens. So lots of old guys never got it, so who knows all had "the ceremony".

IMO, if i were boss, haha, I would have stopped it. There is no other competition in Chicago. Only one family, so no need for lots of official soldiers. Those in the know, know whose who. So having a ceremony only adds to "made" guys and people talking about it. And targets from the FBI.

Better to be thought to have 10 made guys than 100. Now, i have no idea if this is true, just my two cents.

yeah, i suspect most of the vast majority of those guys listed arent made with the formal ceremony but might be influential, the guys who are made have the * next to their name.

Nice post, Dapper. Most of it is fairly accurate. I will say that Elmwood & Cicero can basically considered separate families altogether though at this point, with Grand & Chinatown being considered their own families as well, albeit on a much smaller scale. that's the way Aiuppa set it up.

I'd also personally place Inendino higher up than Solly D down there.

Elmwood park is the only crew/family that doesn't make members anymore.

And Christy fuckin spina is not even a top three in his own crew, let alone a top guy in the entire fuckin outfit lol. anyone going by what the feds say is a goof, they literally have no clue as to what they're talking about.

That's so difficult to say. Naturally you would say Johnny Bananas or his brother, or Inendino or solly d, but there are bookies like Marco Damico who have far larger net worths than both those guys. Grand avenue is by far the weakest crew at this point, so it wouldn't be anyone from there.

Elmwood is primarily white collar, so if you're talking legitimate business, yes they are the most powerful. Cicero is by far the largest and most feared, and they handle the majority of street level stuff. Chinatown & grand are incomparable to both Cicero and Elmwood, but Chinatown is by far larger and more powerful than grand.

Marcello, Inendino, and the rest of the Cicero upper echelon made over twenty members during the early 2000s. Their names are not known, but there have been rumoured to have been some very young men that were in that group.

@eyes, Chicago heights is most certainly still active. Very little is known about that crew. Rush street was sanctioned into Elmwood, as was Melrose park.

Dapper, awesome post. The most comprehensive view of the Outfit I've seen.

Impressive chart. Kudos to the one who made it. However, only a small fraction of the guys listed are formally inducted made members, the rest are associates. Also, I´m not sure everybody on the list is still alive today.

No way that chart is even remotely accurate, people love to live in a dream world and make out the Outfit still are a big family.

If the feds say 28, I'd believe that over the chart.

The Feds have always been a couple years behind. 28 is way low. There are more than 28 guys on the deck at The Grotto some nights. Ricobenes do you know anything about a crew operating in Valpo? Is that part of Chicago Heights? Thanks.

I'd like to believe you but I can't, so why is it accurate? Just because it was made by a guy on the internet?

All we can do to speculate how many members a family has is google searching articles and looking for indictments I'm afraid and trying to get any info we can.

The feds know at least 90% of made members in every crime family, I believe that 28-40 is accurate.

Why should I believe there are 70+ made guys?
