4 capos and 41 made men


That list is one of many that Scott Burnstein has posted on the forums over the years. With all due respect to Scott, from around 2006 to the present, his charts have ranged from around 30 to almost 60 members. Also, his own book Motor City Mafia cited 25 members back in 2006.

Now, Scott has mentioned rumors of there being a couple ceremonies in recent years. And he's also said some members may have not been previously identified. But even if all that is true, it still wouldn't be nearly enough to balance out the members who have died, let alone increase the family's size. When the FBI had the family at 30 members nearly 15 years ago, how likely is it that they've gone up to 40+? Especially with so many members dying off. Also, where's the discernible activity of a family this size? Why do we see more activity in areas with families of comparable size - New Jersey, New England, Philadelphia - but not in Detroit?

If people want to believe Detroit has 30, 40, or more members in 2015 go ahead but the available evidence just doesn't support it.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

This is the crux of the argument right here.

The choice is you either believe NJ, NE, Philly and the D are generally the same size with Detroit being some sort of super-mafioso capable of beating the Fed at their own game, yet not a few internet posters on a forum board who 'know' OR Detroit arent the same size and dont have 40 odd members.

Thats the choice you have to make.

MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.

I think the argument can go either way. They are a quiet, close-knit crime family who have always kept things low-key. On the other hand, we haven't heard of any significant OC activity on the family. Even if LE has bigger issues in Michigan (and they do), you would think there would be at least one racketeering indictment of a significant family members in the past couple years. All we see are smaller arrests from LE and uncorroborated info from guys like Scott. However, unless you think Scott is completely BSing everyone, there is still an administration and enough members to consider them viable. There is some confirmed reports of OC activity by the Detroit family. That supports the argument that they are really low profile and maybe LE isn't too concerned with them.

Of course, the truth can always be somewhere in between.

You're right Ted.

Ivy Detroit as you know as the 80 % of population are blacks, so the recruitment pool decreases greatly and the family would be defunct years ago, what saved it was the fact that many members being related to each other by blood, no internal feuds in the 80s such in other families and only one member who has flipped: Neve Tocco in 2000.

So it's more likely to be 20 to 30 made men with some of them that are in the list even if they are very old and so it's assumed to be retired and maybe some are jailed,I'll take a look on inmate locator.
