frank colacurcio seattle family cosa nostra or not

any info on whether the seattle italian crime family was official cosa nostra i/ve heard about a Bonanno connection anyone know http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012264324_colacurcioobit03m.html

The Colacurcios were Italian, ran their business in a very mobbed-up way, and had some ties with LCN figures, but were not technically LCN themselves.

ivy were they ever catogrorized with the "27" mob families around the united states?

Nope

I doubt very much they even had making ceremonies. This was more like a crew with a lot of money. The Colacurcio story is very interesting though. He was quite a character.

Check the archives Ontario. I started a thread a few years back asking the same question. Ive linked to a fair bit of info there regarding Frank's death & their legal troubles.

Can you post a link to the archives? Thanks man.
