Editing Good Killers Gang (section)

==Organizational status==
Hunt and Tona interpret the Good Killers as one crew or an enforcement arm within a wider Castellammarese syndicate. David Critchley expressly cautions that there was no evidence establishing the Killers as the enforcement arm of one unified syndicate that later evolved directly into the Brooklyn, Buffalo and Detroit crime families.<ref name="Critchley">David Critchley, [https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA218 ''The Origin of Organized Crime in America: The New York City Mafia, 1891–1931''] (New York: Routledge, 2009), pp. 218–223.</ref>

The safest description is a case-defined, kin-connected vendetta crew overlapping with the existing [[Schiro crime family|Williamsburg Mafia organization]]. It was not a separate organization that later merged wholesale with a “Schiro Gang.” The Schiro family already existed before the 1921 case, and Magaddino and Bonventre were blood-family names rather than corporate gangs.
