Here it is one more time and then I don't want to debate it with you. 1) I live in Elmwood Park, you don't. 2) My uncle whose name is Joe Lombardi and is now retired, was a soldier in the Elmwood Park crew for 40 years. 3) Your only source of information is the F.B.I. report which is not always 100% accurate. 4) If they were wrong about Joe Ferriola being the Top Boss in the Outfit back in 1986, they could be at least a little off about other things. 5) Chicago is structured differently than New York. soldiers in New York are made guys. Soldiers in Chicago are not made guys. Soldiers in Chicago are not associates. Associates are all the people who are connected to the Outfit but do not belong to the Street Crews. 6) Being a made guy in Chicago would practically be equal to being a captain in New York. 7) If you add up the number of made guys, soldiers who work for them, and all the Outfit connected associates, the number would easily equal the Colombos. 8)Size isn't everything. Years ago the Black Street gangs outnumbered the Mafia, but the Mafia had much more power. 9) The F.B.I. is not going to go out of their way to give a detailed explanation of the differences & terminology between New York & Chicago. Some of them don't even understand the difference. They only care about getting convictions. 10) If you do not understand the differences in Structure because the Feds haven't spelled it out for you in detail, then there is nothing more to talk about on the size or real power of The Outfit. Thank You.
