I recently stumbled upon this forum and I've been reading compulsively ever since. Figured I'd join the conversation.

1. How frequently are guys whacked these days in the US (particularly NYC / Chicago)? Anybody know of anyone who has been whacked in the last 15 years?

2. Any information regarding the size of the five families throughout their history? Or even just at their peaks? The only information I've been able to find about this is that the Gambinos supposedly had close to 600 made guys under Carlo.

3. Any and all information on the Morello Gang would be appreciated. I've found very little on them on the internet but I'd love to know more. Did they have the organisational structure of the modern day mob? Did they make people or were they more of a street-gang? Finally, how many members did they have?

Thanks guys.
