I don't think it's a coincidence that the fed's number more or less coincides with the number, give or take a handful, that a bunch of people who primarily get their information from the media, with a small degree of word of mouth (us), come up with.
Of those listed you could probably put about 15 who are hard core gangsters who have been arrested multiple times and if they weren't "made" it would be surprising.
Another 10 or so who are again on public record for being, at the least, heavily involved.
And a handful who are more under the radar.
That is one reason why I think the number is probably accurate.
If someone were to come up with 30 more probable "made" guys, it would be a far more nebulous exercise...
The question marks on this list would be ahead of the most suspicious guys on the next list.
