Off and on people have commented on the chart the Senate committee used to show who was who in the Corleone family, and many people have correctly noted the chart is not completely accurate. Two striking examples are that they had Fredo in a much higher position than he really had, and they had Tom as the Consigliere, even though he was more of a quasi-consigliere. Also Rocco and Neri are not given "credit" on the chart for their standing in the family.

This raises the question of how did this chart get created? I think the answer is not as much from what Pentangeli told the FBI but how the family was perceived by outsiders such as Hyman Roth. Don't forget the senate lawyer Questadt was "owned" by Roth.

For those reasons I do not think we can rely on the chart to correct misimpressions because the chart itself was not at all accurate.
