Source? Bonanno himself stated that his family had 300 made members. He inherited the Maranzano organization which defeated Masseria's outfit. They apparantly had 150 made members during the 1960s to the 1980s, and again in the late 1990s. And you shouldn't take Sonny's statement too serious. The Corleones were the most powerful crime family in the country, and saying that there were 100 men on the streets doesn't mean that these were the only men they had. The Corleones still had rackets and other businesses to attent to or to protect.

Yeah, like 99% of the other crime bosses of his era.
