This family's membership size seems to be a hotly contested topic, I find it very hard to believe that the men in charge let it dwindle down to 12 buttons, however some knowledgeable researchers seem pretty convinced that the family is on its last legs. If there really is only 12 made guys left, than whoevers running that family must of never been schooled that "You gotta keep recruiting guys or this thing dies". Interestingly it was only a few years ago that most people believed that Buffalo was on its last legs as well, and it turns out that family is thriving, so i wouldnt be surprised if its the same situation in Chicago
