Thanks for the answers. Much appreciated. Don't mean to constantly throw questions at you, but I was late to the ANP forums.

How are the guys that are direct with bosses equated with other made guys? By this I man, does a made guy direct with the boss have more clout or status than a crew/area boss? Would he have more status than a crew/area boss #2?

Also, would a crew bosses #2 have his own franchise/crew that would be separate from his crew bosses crew? For example, would a #2 have soldiers and made guys that answered directly to him? His own franchise, like a made guy?
