That 195 figure for the Bonannos at the time has always struck me as strange and rather unbelievable. For one reason, it is such an outlier compared to other estimates of the Bonannos before and after. Furthermore, you can count the Bonanno members listed in the link you posted. There are about 120. While I don't think they knew of every member, I doubt 75 guys had managed to go unidentified.
Yes it was a little odd that the Bonannos had the same number of soldiers as the WS,not imposible but strange.Anyway,I thought tha the Gambino and Genovese familly had a lot more soldiers than that.At least 300 each,what do you think Ivy?
The Colombos 150 soldiers?Luccheses the smallest,can it be?
