Chicago 150 seems too high as do most of them. Cleveland seems right.


D'Arco said those were the maximum membership Luciano determined. Which, if that was the case, would be well known in terms of policy down through the years.


If that is true, why have none of the rats before or after him ever mentioned such a thing? Wouldn't guys like Gravano, Scarpa, Massimo, DeFede, Vitale, or Casso have known about such a rule?


Huh? A cap on their memberships has been common knowledge for years. It's one reason why the families have to vet their prospective members with the other families and show which deceased members they are replacing. It's why Jo Jo Corozzo and Sal Vitale accused each other of finding names in the phone book to use as dead members they could then make new members to replace.

Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
