Definitely. How well-respected your sponsor is, whether or not the books are open, prison sentences, your enemies, whose the boss - all of these things play a part in whether or not a guy gets inducted.

Also, the Revolvy article mentions Vincent Langella being a soldier. Not only is Vincent Langella dead, but he was never made.

Who was Vincent Langella?... his son you mean? He’s dead?? When and how Gohn? First I’ve heard that

Vincent ‘Fat Vinny’ Langella was a Colombo associate briefly involved in stock fraud and described by Larry Mazza as a fat slob who was not respected by his peers. He died in 2016; http://colonialfuneralhomes.frontrunner ... ituary.php

Where was it you read this, I'd be interested to see it. In Donnie Brasco, Pistone identifies Langella and Little Allie Boy Persico as both being recently made around the time he was hanging out with Jilly Greco so that backs it up that they were made post-opening the books.
