Don't start playing the geography card. Just because you live in Detroit doesn't give you some sort of inherent knowledge on the mob there. And what's this "we" stuff?

U dont need 5-10 Capos if u dont have Soldiers for them to control?


Detroit doesn't have anywhere near 10 captains. Scott will often list around 5 or so but that doesn't mean they are all active at the present time.

I Would like to see any list showing "Dominic Bommarito" in The Combination Hierarchy or "Mirable" because i havent,heard,seen, read anything stating that till seeing your post.


That information doesn't come from me but from the very guy who's book you keep referring to. He posts pretty reguarly on the Real Deal forum.

Jerry Capeci ranges the Luchese family between 110-175 members and i know Detroit isnt much smaller with all its "Soldiers" My estimate:75-100 in the D.Plus Detroit has a better Economy again than its had in the past with all the new business,construction,casinos,etc.also we have members in Ohio,Canada,etc.


Capeci does not put the Luccheses at 110-175. In 2005 he had them at 120-130 members. But that was probably a little inflated.

As for Detroit, it does no good to just make up your own estimates because they are meaningless. No family outside of New York has 100 members. Not even Chicago, much less Detroit.
