IMO I would say the Bonannos have the youngest amount of inducted members and associates

Perhaps the Bonannos will be the last ones standing after all. Who would have thought since '65?

Age doesn’t necessarily = longevity.

West side is twice as big in members and crews.

That’s what will determine long term feasibility.

Colombo’s but most are young and green. We’re not talking sharp capable guys. .... the quality across the board it diminishing but Colombo’s are among the worst from what I see. Very low end rackets

Age is everything when it comes to longevity, ultimately. Putting external factors aside, 10 crews with guys under 40 will last longer than twenty with seniors. The Genoveses will have to replenish their ranks at some point in order to survive, despite the current size of the family.

Anyway I was only half serious at most when I made that comment. [emoji4]

Gathered you were only half kidding 😉

But the point still stands. Age has nothing to do with it.
The ability to replenish ranks is the determining factor.
Remember we’re not talking about this generation of gangsters, so average age doesn’t mean anything.

Bonannos seem to have the most young guys according to pogos chart. Sencond place would be the Gambinos. I dont think the Genovese have a single member under the age of 50.

The Bonannos have a lot of young guys, especially in the Bronx crew.

I think the Genovese are the most sophisticated in the shadows and still have some Viable rackets like construction, Waste hauling/Recycling, Waterfront and overall labor racketeering in different unions locals and industries is because of they're partnerships and heavy affiliations with Jewish racketeers/Gangsters and the they're legitimate offspring involved in Casinos,Gambling, Hotels, Unions, Politics etc etc. The Jews taught them well and they still have connections to the Jews who run entertainment, Wall street, Talent agencies and films and Record companies on the west coast and other places . They are the most Americanized of the families. But, Anyway this is nothing new, Most of us know the scope and depth of the Westside ! Whatevers left of Chicago IMO I still think the Westside shares values and partnerships with Chicago in some form or fashion ,Even though I cant prove that in anyway because there is really nothing out there to prove it ,Just opinion and speculation, But, I really dont know where the fuck the Bonannos find so many guys in they're late 20's 30s and 40s compared to the other 4 fams

And I mean guys who aren't just relatives of inducted members bound by blood from somewhere out in Suburbia but guys from the boroughs who are not blooded in by family ties, I mean it's not an overwhelming amount but enough to make you think, How and where are these guys found ! Like the fucken Bonannos got a secret stash lol
