I know this topic has probably been repeated time and again but I was hoping to get some specific answers on this post.

When I talk about associates for a made man, I mean associates who DIRECTLY work for them. For example, before Nino Gaggi was a captain and Roy Demeo was made, their relationship was more of a partnership than an employment for Demeo. In these type of partnerships Gaggi is considered a first among equals.

I know that the general number of associates to soldier is about 10 to 1, but that number is usually embesllished and includes people who they purely deal with rather actually have working for them: fences, corrupt cops etc.

So basically I am looking to find out how many guys a soldier would have employed in his operation and who he gives direct orders to and which the associate has to comply.

Any input would be aprreciated
