Furio, Good list. My only reasoning that it doesn't match Gallo's is Gallo had three become boss of families DeMeo's didn't have any. They were vicious, but they didn't have the balls to instigate a civil war, or kidnap their own families leaders and hold for ransom. Thoughts? I’d also add to your point that the Gallo crew had few if any turn informant where DeMeo’s crew had several.

Following your thoughts,every crew that wasn't started a civil war or kidnap its family leaders wasnt a tough crew. Demeo crew members killed almost 100 people and was very money makers while at some point Gallos haven't the money to continue the feud. Also the Pitera crew was brutal and made tons of cash.

Tommy Karate’s crew didn’t make as much money as you’d think. Anthony Spero on the other hand did and Tommy was under him. Also other then Tommy, Billy and the guy Kojack most ratted.

I remember hearing that the Vario crew had like 30 made guys and 300+ associates at its peak. It was like it’s own little family and they controlled a big area in the 60s the colombo family had a capo with that amount of guys but i forgot his name... i think he had something to do with carlo gambino which results of him being dead by him

Cantalupo said in the crime inc documentary that Mimi had 20-30 guys working for him. He just didn’t clarify if all of those were made guys. I think some of those were probably associates.
