Genovese NJ current boss

Who's running the Genovese's in New Jersey after Fiumara died it's been 3 years now

If he's not retired i'd guess Larry Dentico. If not possibly Silvio DeVita?

There are/were five Westside crews in Nj. No overall boss, just the capos (per Picasso, and he knows):

Silvio Devita's crew
Gatto's crew
Ninny Brusci's crew
Anthony Palumbo's crew
Tino's Crew

Tino is dead; Gatto dead; Palumbo in jail..don't remember who took over those crews. But they still exist - five crews, five capos - no overall Jersey boss. The bosses are in the bronx: QD, Ernie Muscarella, and Barney. Take your pick on who is really boss. The Genovese soldiers don't evem know. LOL

DeVita is in hot water as we speak! Believe they just got him on tape in the last week or so.

Damn East. Is there a rat within the family? Or an undercover guy?

From what I'm told it's a Rat, they were working with a guy. They squeezed him to hard so he ran to the Cops. I'm not sure if it's in papers yet. Needless to say I don't have fifty sourced stories but I'm sure it will be news soon.

Not good for the West Side. Anyone else they pinched along with DeVita?

Spotty details, I'm down here on a beach listening and feeding Seagulls. There busy shoveling up there. When I hear I will post.

I'm one of those schmucks shoveling ya knucklehead! you lucky bastard, I gotta wait another two months til spring

I will keep the Sun busy till then for you. Today wasnt great though. Steady 75 degrees all day. Wish it was a little warmer, tonight going to need a jacket suppose to be in the 60's! Yikes! I hate drinking beer when it's cold out!

I go to Colorado on a skiing trip with my buddies this weekend. And I'm wondering why the fuck I'm going to Colorado I should've went to the Carribean or FLA like everyone else. But you'd be surprised how much cheaper it is to ski then to go south.

ill be in boca next week, cant wait...just got 3.5 ft in new haven

How i remember it, theres Down Neck (T), Belleville(SD), Nutley (Red), Passaic (and bayonne) (Pepe/Prisco), Union (Ninny), and Hudson (Larry). Ts crew is split into 2 crews basically, Docks and street shit.... Theres also Barbato who is into construction in NJ... Allie Malangone is into Garbage out here as is Ts guys. Mario G has biz out here....

East, this the same guy we were talkin about last week? The crybaby haha? That crew is fucked, Skins was real close to SD. If its the same guy i mean, SD might not be the only big guy going down...

I forgot Bobby Manna who was a hudson co guy too... But hes the same as Larry

It is! I will fill you in

Gotcha. Too bad, but its not a suprise.

Bro, you forgot Andy! The old man. Tony T uncle.

SD got Andy Gerardos guys, right? Or did SD get the other SDs guys? Fuckin Newark! Even the hookers get confused!

SD got Andy Gerardos guys, right? Or did SD get the other SDs guys? Fuckin Newark! Even the hookers get confused!

I think Gerardo retired and then Silvio got that crew and has been running it ever since

Gerardo retired around the same time Lincoln got assassinated! My bad I thought you were doing a little history run down of crews. If so he's a guy who needs to be listed! IMO anyway.

In regard to Gerardo's guys, they went to Anthony Palumbo then Silvio.

Palumbo got a lot when he got a bump! If i remember right he was close to those HudCo guys too... Larry, Bobby, Greccos, Mike S... Some of Toners guys too!

Besides being Andy's nephew he is a very capable guy. Shit he had a casino in the Bronx, that says alot for them to let a Jersey guy into the city.

No problem! Andy G was loved in jersey! He was like how PB said of Joe Dente... He helped out a lot of people. Theres nothin wrong with a little history! The Indian, Tony Pro, Pee Wee, Toner (Sr), Joe Dogs, Pete LaPlaca, Panels, Joe Stassi! Jesus... Good memory on this young whippersnapper!

The Bellomo, Ianniello, and Gangi crews also are said to have interests in New Jersey.

You're surprised, Schmo? Didn't someone tell you this in a pm over a week ago?

Now who's the smartest guy you know?

I don't know why it surprises people that news like this hits the street long before it hits the papers. I don't want to be a dick and say it's old news, but they've been worried about this guy for awhile now.

Oh, and if we're mentioning Jersey faction guys who are currently in jail, what the fuck was Prisco, a gas station attendant?

Harlem born and East Bronx based, but he had TONS going on in Jersey. Trust me on that.

Prico was a heavy, thing is he was always identified as a Harlem/ Bronx guy? Think he was smart how he avoided the Blade in Jersey and did his own thing. Oil and water there!

Prisco got Johnny Ds Bayonne rackets when he died if i remember right. Pepe LaScala was his jersey point man.

Digiulio was what you call a "hostile takeover/ forced early retirement" was split several ways. Prisco and the Blades crew got most of it. Think the Blade was making license plates when all that happened.

Yea i think beesh and q got that local now. 1814 or 1804 or something...

Pepe got pinched with some of those guys from bayonne and that rat from jfk blvd..

ILA 1588(I think), he was a longtime ILA guy. Supposibly a great boxer too

Which local was George Barone on? That was a feared guy. Speaking of good fighters... Blood and his brother could give Tyson a run for his money.

Barone was originally an NYC locals guy, got tossed from all official ILA business. He was more like "trouble shooter". Yes very tough guy, got old, got placed on a hit list and went Rat! Felt betrayed

Oh was he a manhattan guy? Back when the piers were piers and not parks or driving ranges....

Yes, West Side born and bred. He was in Miami making that a crooked place also.
Yeah, as you know our NYC Ports are crime free, just no business.

Hey hey hey lets leave our NY/NJ ports alone lol

Blood was a legend. Didn't get the name from wearing a red doo rag either

He still alive? He was indians younger brother right?

Dead in '92, think he's older? Doubt they even really knew!

Only reason I knew him well was I worked at Charlie Ding's candy store. Blood had an office in the back. They paid me more to leave than work!

Somebody over on the RD said they heard the guy who flipped is Michael Crincoli. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If so, I assume it's the the guy who's made and was involved in the 2005 Dentico bust.

anybody watched that asshole detective that went undercover and done a homemade video showing us the players in the genovese nj family. he saved the capo at the time from a beating from two black guys and got in with the family then decided to bust em. this guy was so annoying watch the video ull want to whack him!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSOcG4j1ZvI

Mike Russell. The asshole lives in florida now and follows Joey Merlino around all day. It was in one of those articles on Merlino by that lady reporter Julie Brown in florida.

Ivy is this the right Mike Crincoli? Looks like a fed taking him in back in 05.

If it is true that would not be good for the Genovese Jersey Faction at all.

Not true. Lmao ur getting warm tho

Andy G i think.

Skinny's correct. It was Gerardo that Russell helped out.

Sorry, I misquoted him. He said a guy "around" Crincoli.

Didnt Tommy Riccardi split that Cops head open?

^ yea i think so.

Dont know about Riccardi hitting him in the head,but he did "shoot" him in the head ,him or Michael Taccetta ,think

Serpiente, That guy was exposed as a fraud. Check out the Realdeaforum on him. His name is Mike Russell. Here is an article that exposes him and his book.
The Cop who handled him said it's only 20% truth and that he wasn't shot but instead got his ass kicked!
.Tell-all book on infiltrating the mob may have some bullet-sized holes in it

Mike Russell writes that he helped take down wiseguy Vincent 'The Chin' Gigante, who is pictured here. Russell is not in this photograph.
Star-Ledger file photo

As an undercover New Jersey state trooper, Mike Russell says he infiltrated the mob and brought down dozens of wiseguys, all after taking a .32-caliber bullet to the head. It is quite the tale told in “Undercover Cop: How I Brought Down the Real-Life Sopranos,” which was released Aug. 6.

Publisher’s Weekly gave it a glowing review, writing, “This tell-all page-turner is all the better for being true.”

Except it’s not entirely true. Some important facts are at best stretched, at worst fabricated.

Mike Russell was never employed as a New Jersey state trooper, according to State Police Sgt. Brian Polite.

That isn’t to say he didn’t work with, or for, the State Police, but he was never a trooper as he claims on Page 3.
Nor was he ever a Newark cop, according to Newark Sgt. Ron Glover, as Russell claims to have been on Page 86.

Russell, in a phone interview from his home in Florida, acknowledged the error.

“The titles were bouncing all over the place,” he said, but he maintained the crux of the story is about him and the mob, not the agency he worked for.

Speaking of titles, the book refers to Russell’s State Police contact James “Big Jim” Sweeney as a Master Sergeant — a rank that does not exist in the New Jersey State Police.

The crux of the story, if not the details, appears to be accurate. Russell, who says he was known as “Mikey Ga-Ga,” was indeed influential in helping take down major figures in organized crime, said retired State Police Capt. Nick Oriolo, whose name is misspelled in the book.

Oriolo was his handler and described Russell’s role as more akin to a confidential informant than a trooper. That doesn’t diminish his importance in the case, the retired trooper said.

Russell did infiltrate the mob and did pass on valuable information, Oriolo said. But Oriolo estimates that only about 20 percent of the book is true. He does not recall Russell being shot in the head, which the book describes as a very emotional moment for the State Police sergeant, who was “blubbering” at Russell’s bedside.

Oriolo remembers the scene differently. He remembers Russell being beat up almost beyond recognition, but not shot in the head.

“I never talked to (Russell’s) wife about being shot,” Oriolo said. “Real-life Sopranos? This reads more like his real-life fantasy.”

Russell writes that the bullet, fired at point-blank range, did relatively little damage, entering his skull, bouncing off bone and exiting an inch above the entrance wound.

“Note to would be hitmen,” he writes. “If you’re going to whack someone, use a round that can kill.”

The book is published by Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Press, a division of Macmillan, and the publisher is standing by the story.

Mike Russell was shot in the head, said Joe Rinaldi, associate director of publicity at St. Martin’s Press.

“Mike Russell’s publisher has every reason to believe ‘Undercover Cop’ is substantially accurate,” Rinaldi said in an e-mail. “According to Mike Russell’s account, which is consistent with the 1988 HBO documentary, Mike was a New Jersey cop who worked undercover for the New Jersey State Police. The main focus of his book is an undercover operation that resulted in numerous mobsters pleading guilty and doing jail time.”

Inconsistencies

Except — in many places — the book is not consistent with the HBO documentary in which Russell said he was a truck driver before his undercover work began, not a Newark cop. The movie, which can be found on YouTube, finds Russell saying he received 60 stitches because of the bullet wound he suffered in 1980. In the book, it’s down to 28 stitches and though the year isn’t mentioned, it is implied that it is the mid '80s.

In the documentary, Russell says he was an East Orange cop before trying something else with his life. That part checks out. He was, in fact, an East Orange cop, though his stint with that local department is never mentioned in the book.

There are other inconsistencies between the documentary and the book as well. Talking to HBO cameras, Russell says he made contact with Andy Gerardo, a top man in the Genovese crime family, after coming upon him at the scene of an auto accident where he was being attacked by “two black guys.”

In the book, the two black men are mugging Gerardo when Russell intervenes. In the documentary, this is the genesis of the undercover work. In the book, Russell has been on the job for months, looking for a way to infiltrate the mob.

Here is the Philly interview with that stupid cop wannabee. According to the above he's not a cop.
http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/2000741...rida-connection

no kidding ...where did i hear that, it was in my head thats why i said THINK.. Ok got it HBO thanks all

Serpiente, on the books amazon page, Russell has his book endorsed by George Anastasia who wrote on his book,
"Nobody did undercover better than Mike Russell. His story is grittier than The Sopranos, more volatile than Goodfellas. A must read." —George Anastasia, author of The Last Gangster and The Goodfella Tape"
I guess besides Anastasia and Dave Schratwieser was also played by Russell too on his TV show. Kudos to the Star Ledger for exposing this guy!

Yea, "Bean i thought George Anastasia was a stand up guy ,wow or he was in on it or fooled, and was this guy a cop at all ?

That guy Russell according to all the North Jersey guys on the different forums is said to be a real asshole. He's not a cop in any form and in one of the papers he said he was following Merlino all around south florida keeping an eye on him. What a douchebag.

On RealdealForum a long time poster claims he was an East Orange cop at one time and was let go. No idea why, but he surfaces on his homemade hbo tape as a truck driver and then supposedly approcahes the NJ State Police to work. According to the article he was a rat. If you google the NJ Star ledger and read the first article on him which was positive and before he was exposed, there are so many guys who were or Are Troopers commenting on him and tearing him a new one. He was no cop, trooper or fed on this operation. Why he is tailing Skinny Joey I have no idea. I guess loves the spotlight and the fact that he fooled Anastasi and Schratwiser.

OK got it .how and why waist money following skinny around. sounds like he has something wrong in the head..and all the way down to Fla. from here..well jersey that is.

thanks

wonder if the cw had anything to do with the bergen genovese bust last week

Wrong thread lol.

the decalvalcante's are pretty pathetic

there's no reason that 7 families operate in north jersey

they should have popped somebody in the 60s and this wouldn't be going on

cook county you just keeps getting worse but ill play the game and i'd bet theres more decalvalcante members on the street then the 28 guys in Chicago. d leo boss off jersey my guess.

No such thing as boss of jersey. Danny Leo is a bronx guy. They called tony palumbo boss of jersey or something when he was just danny leos messenger when leo was boss. Palumbo was actually a bx guy originally. I think originally he was in benny eggs or farby or someones crew. He married andy gerards (newark capo) daughter. When he was acting for danny he supervised a jersey crew himself. He went back and forth between the nj based captains. Thats all. A lot of ny guys have had strong presences in jersey. Not just an agent or two... Going back too. QD, Prisco, Barney, Leo, Barbato, Malangone.... Even if u think back, chin had jersey guys who went to dentico who also was a ny guy originally. Matty horse, benny eggs. sally dogs lombardi was a bk guy with a nj crew. The closest thing to a boss would be larry dentico due to his closeness with gigante and cirillo and mangano. Although i doubt hes carrying any messages.

Palumbo didn't marry Gerardo's daughter he was Gerardo's nephew, his sisters boy.
He's from NJ originally answered to a Bronx crew...

Which one? Leo´s, Cirillo´s, Bellomo´s, Ardito´s, Parello´s, Prisco´s, Denti´s, Santobello´s? Or was it Mario Gigante´s crew he answered to?

He lived in the bronx since he was young. Now he lives in manhattan or somewher

Rudy Santibello died recently.

He was managing not only his Social club, but Mario Gigante's as well.

Any idea who's taken over? Both Rudy and Mario's crews?

I honestly don't know who was his skipper, however he's born and raised in NJ NOT NY. People forget but Bronx is closer to Jersey than it is say Brooklyn...You're 15 minutes away by GW brigde so Bronx and Jersey guys always were close...Case in point Tony Carminati
