How do guys even get recruited these days

isn't the Colombo and philly families pick the worst / rats?

Yeah Colombo Crime Family has had the largest number of high ranking turncoats of all the NYC Families. And things isn’t like how it was maybe 60-70 years ago where there was a much larger recruitment pool in the Italian American Neighborhoods. Now, those sources have all dried up, the Italians that lived in NYC slowly moved down to Staten Island or Long Island during the 70s & 80s. Basically they can find guys in those two areas but they won’t be near as good as were the guys from back in the day, earning capabilities speaking. And Italians have Americanized now, 4th & 5th generation Italians are the younger guys now 15-25 y.o and they don’t seem too keen on joining or holding omertà till death if they do make it. On the other hand, The Gambinos are bringing in Sicilians by the boat loads 😄.
