Jerry Capeci had the Columbo's at 75-85 members back in 2011. How many of those were guys like Little Vic doing life in prison? No way there are 100 members.

I'm aware of that article. Capeci's estimate for the Colombos was relatively low compared to other estimates. Same for the Gambinos. Incidentally, his estimate for the Genovese family was relatively high. The 2004 New Jersey OC report had the Colombos at 112 members (see below). There were also articles in 2009 and 2014 that cited 100 members for the family. Again, it's total members, not just active on the street.
