And it's not clear in the article if they include "made guys" who were currently incarcerated.
Let's say not, just for arguments sake.
You would still have to subtract, since then: Calabrese Sr., Nick Calabrese, Jimmy Light, Lumbo, The Indian, Tornabene, Fat Ass... I'm probably forgetting a few too.
So that's - 7 right there.
Further, the Builder, No Nose, Sneaky Pete are freaking ancient. Sorry, but you are only capable of masterminding so much crime when you are in your mid-80s.
- 4
Mags shelve
-1
I refuse to count Rudy Fratto
-1
So that is just a little left of the 30 made guys estimated in 2007 who are essentially out of the game.
Even keeping the geriatrics in, as I'm sure someone will insist that they are just as wily and dangerous as ever, that's still approximately 33 percent of "made guys" who are out of the game.
It seems to me they're counting everybody, as a made guy doesn't cease to be so just because he's in prison. And, yes, I would argue that a mob guy should't be written off because he's ancient. Look at many of the top guys in the Genovese family. They're old as dirt but they're the ones who, through their experience and leadership, have kept that family the strongest.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
