Hard to believe that Sicilians never set a flag in such a major urban center like Chicago during the Pizza-connection era and beyond. Same thing applies to the rest of Italian OC groups.

@ Furio - nice chart. If this is remotely accurate it would make them larger than Philly. Which is highly unlikely.

I have a hard time to believe that all these people (sources?) are part of a cohesive organization. I stick to my guts, whatever is going on today is scattered in semi-independent crews.

I can’t find the time to check the comment sections on Joe Fosco’s blog. Hopefully it would shed some light on their current organizational shape.


LuanKuci if the outfit was a traditional LCN family that would be true (to be more large than philly) but as I understood the Chicago Outfit never used the traditional making ceremony so more associates that are money makers had the same respect that in NY would have a made man.For sure the chart must be update but I think that counting official made men and italian associates that are equiparated to made men the Outfit would have 60-70 members.
