Not sure if mad Sam was made, but his brother was involved in his hit in Chicago
mad sam was paul ricca's guy so he probably was made
they didn't kill him until after ricca died
I don't know, I've never seen one account that actually lists him as official button, always associate. I'll leave well alone the whole debate on The Outfits unorthodox ceremony. Even Bill Roemer, as fanciful as some of his info was, would point to Sam's unhinged personality as proof that Accardo, The Waiter and co. declined to induct him. Numerous other sources state the same.
