I believe the Genovese family tends to wait until guys are older to make them. They make a lot of men in their 60s and even 70s.
Nay, the competition to get made in the Genovese family is fierce so some guys get put back until their 60's. Remember they can only induct new guys to replace dead members and two extra guys can get made at Christmas.
It's not like the DeCavalcantes were the competition is only a few dozen guys.
We must remember that to be "made" should be an honor reserved to the best wiseguys. That from the 1980s the wiseguys sons was made young is an another thing.
What is the source that say that Genoveses can only replace dead guys plus 2?
In the Pogo chart on the 5 families inductions in some years the genoveses made 10-20 guys a year.
What is the source? Those have been the rules for the last 100 years.
The Genoveses were down 40 made guys during the late 80's, in other words they could have made 40 guys in one ceremony if they wanted. They don't have to induct a new member as soon as a old member dies, they can do it at time of their own choosing, which could be months or years.
