I keep reading that the FBI is giving out fake information but I find it amusing They only do that for the outfit.
Are all of the families membership estimates low or just Chicagos?
So they say the outfit has 30 members but they are just lowballing everyone and everyone in Chicago knows there are 100. They say the Genovese have 200-250 but they aren't misleading us with that figure and if they are it's a higher estimate Right?
They don't only do it with the outfit. Some examples in the past 10 years or so that I happen to be familier with...check for accuracy if you wish. These are not mistakes, the FBI knew full well the reports were wrong The Gambino family was "decimated"
"Rockford was extinct, followed by them naming a new boss, followed by them declaring the new boss an Outfit associate, following by them naming a new boss, and again declaring them extinct"
Jake Minnicone was a Colombo associate(He was actually a Buffalo made guy)
The Falange crew was made of old time Buffalo made guys (3 were made, the rest were associates)
Joe Falcone was a Pittston/Scranton Capo (he was a Buffalo capo with strong NE Pennsylvania ties)
Arrests in the Murder of Charlie Coop were imminent (it has been a cold case for 50 years)
I could go on.....
Been there and done it I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
