So it was quite a significant change between 1979 and then.


Assuming the rule of thumb that each capo has 10 made guys under them, then the Bonanno family size would have been between 140-160 made guys, am I correct? Or was the number much higher than that.

Also, which of the capos were inducted pre-1976 (that is, before the books were reopened)?
