Do we have a semi accurate idea of the family today?
Admin, Capos, members?

The chart is dated and useless.

There is no real insight past what was established in 2015 and then subtracting members who have died since that point (such as Merlo, Guarraci, Manny and John Riggi, Joe Gatto etc.)

Chin has a thread for the family around that time (I made a photo chart based off his info some time ago here) - the only additions would be Joseph Sclafani and Carl Corsentino as captains via some recent interviews with Giovanni Rocco. Given that it has been nearly a decade and both are now in their late 80s, you probably couldn't reliably identify them as holding positions anymore

Good list Chin. Without verified inside sources, we are always going to be a few years off on the charts.

It puts them on par with New England, though slightly smaller than Philadelphia.

Yeah, I counted about 30 still alive in that list, not counting if there’s any new or unidentified members.

Yeah if you account for the unknown members and the members made since 2105 they're on par with or larger than all the other families outside the NY5.
