Before anyone jumps on me for including Costa as a confirmed guy, he’s on Limones list included with the section of Boston Made Members which is them followed by all Providence Made Members which is then followed by associates from both locales. Same with Prochilo Sr.
Are you referring to the 2010 Probation list or this a separate list? I ask becaus the probation list also included associate and didn't differentiate between m hers and associates or Boston and Providence. Thanks.

Yeah, a lot of names on that list but no specifics regarding who was made. That would include Costa, Prochilo Sr. and Rizzo.

So the colombos are bigger than the luchese and bonnano family
Keep in mind that list is 30 years ago. Also, the Colombos, Bonannos, and Luccheses have fluctuated through the years with their size, thereby alternating who was #3, 4, and 5 in size at any given time. In more recent years, the Colombos have been the smallest in NY.
I’m talking the probation list. If you look at it, it goes confirmed Boston made members (with the possible exception of Costa, prochilo sr, and Richard costa) then providence made members, then his gambling codefendants, then other associates. Read the list, logic dictates that this is how the government/state of MA organized it given who is on this list and who know to be made.
Also I included Lee Rizzo because Pogo identified him as a made member.

You make a good point about the 53 names on the list. One would think they would simply do it in alphabetical order unless it was done according to geography and, apparently, rank also seems to play a factor in the listing.

Gaetano Milano (1952-) is also still Alive. I don’t know if you count him as a rat because he renounced the mob. He didn’t testify against anyone. Does he count?
Then
Mark Rossetti
Bobby DeLuca
Joseph DeLuca
Frank Salemme
Nino Cucinotta
Gaetano Milano?
So looking at the list in this new light there were 42 members on it. Counting Limone, Anthony Ascenzia (from Connecticut) and Frank Anguilo who was still alive we have 45 identified members in 2010. Was Joseph DeLuca cooperating by 2010? If not then we have 46 members in 2010.
Subtracting those who died or defected since then (and adding Albino Folcarelli) we have 30 identified members in 2022. So
1993 - 64 members
2010 - 46 members
2022 - 30 something members

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

FBI also had a "member source" in the Colombos for decades (Scarpa) while the Bonannos didn't have a member publicly cooperate until 2002 (Coppa). Also important to note that the Genovese have never had an administration member cooperate while the other four NYC families have. Generally -- but not always -- administration members have a better handle on the amount and identity of made members.
I thought the same thing Scarpa was inflating the numbers.But on the other hand both sammy and michael franceze both said that the Bonnanos were smaller than the colombos when they were on the street so were talking the 70s and the 80s.

So they're roughly the same size as Philly? Thought they were down to like a dozen. They're much less active than Philly though right?
During the 1990s-2000s they were on par with Philly in terms of activity but their activity level really dropped off in the 2010s to today.
