Wait so the Chicago Mob's actual size is only to the nearest ten, practically 30 members and 100 associates? was it always a small family because I thought that even today it would have more membership, I read somewhere in terms of size only the Gambino's and Genovese's matched them. Obviously that must have been exaggeration.

But surely they are involved mainly in Illegal gambling, Loan Sharking, extortion plus Union frauds but can a group that small control these things in the city? I also heard of some politician protecting the Mafia's gambling rackets in the city. Not only that but four of the main panel bosses were negotiating a deal with a mayor of some town for a Casino project.
