sopranos.fandom.com:
(1)Little Pussy Malanga, sometimes confused with fellow reputed mobster Big Pussy Bonpensiero, had just returned from Florida when he was detained by authorities.

What does "fellow reputed mobster" mean?

I think:
"A fellow mobster" means "a mobster belonging to the same gang of mobsters".
"A reputed mobster" means "a rumoured mobster".

But then "a + fellow + reputed mobster" means "a mobster belonging to the gang of rumoured mobsters" where "the gang of rumoured mobsters" doesn't make sense.
Why does this logic lead to nonsense?

I think the correct way of saying is:
"A + reputed + fellow mobster" means "a rumoured mobster belonging to the same gang of mobsters" which makes sense.
