Buffalo at its height depending on the source had approx. 300 made members and control over most of Canada.
So when the FBI says they are "ALL BUT DEAD"
It could have meant that compared to the size the family used to be, and the power and influence they had they have, "NOTHING" compared to that today.
That does NOT mean they meant Buffalo had "ZERO" members left.
If the day comes that he GAMBINO"S have only 20 guys left in the family
Could the FBI come out and say the GAMBINO's are DEAD??
Most likely. 20 members means 10% of their current membership left which is nothing more than a remnant of a family. I don't think DiCarlo in his book states Buffalo had 300 members. I believe he states more than 100, which is what Magaddino himself said that was overheard on a wiretap.
