How many (active) crews in the Gambino Family?

How many active crews are there roughly in the Gambinos? I remember in the late Castellano/early Gotti era it was 24-26 crews...How many now? And roughly how many made guys per crew vs say, 1985?

16

Makes sense. Most 20. Some of them guys dont even want to be a capo. Wonder if dan marino finally retired i bet not thou.

You don't know. You just guessed bro

Pogo in BH forum listed 21 capos so 21 active crews:

1. Vincent "Vinnie" Artuso/71 – Florida
2. Domenico "Italian Dom" Cefalu/68/Dominick "Big D" Cefalu/57 - Brooklyn and Long Island
3. Thomas "Tommy Twitch/Sneakers" Cacciopoli/64 - Queens and Westchester
4. Nicholas "Little Nick/The Doctor" Corozzo/74 (IP/3/2/2020)/Leonard "Lenny/The Conductor" DiMaria/73 – Brooklyn, Queens and Florida
5. John "Jackie Nose" D'Amico/77/Ernest "Ernie/Crazy Eyes" Grillo/58 - New Jersey, Manhattan and Brooklyn
6. Louis DeVito/73
7. Anthony Gurino/71 – Queens and Brooklyn
8. Joseph "Sonny" Juliano/76/Up Front Panel - Brooklyn
9. Salvatore "Tori" LoCascio/54/Andrew "Andy Campo" Campos/45 – Bronx
10. Lorenzo Mannino/55 - Brooklyn
11. Daniel Marino/73 - Brooklyn and Staten Island
12. Joseph "Joe Ox" Marino/89 - Brooklyn
13. Pasquale Marsala - Manhattan and Brooklyn
14. Nicholas “Nicky Mita” Mitarotonda/76 - New Jersey
15. Louis Mastrangelo/70 - Queens and Long Island
16. Michael “Mickey Boy” Paradiso/76 (UI/IP) - Queens
17. Louis "Louie Bracciole" Ricco/85 – Bronx and Westchester
18. John Rizzo Jr. – Brooklyn and Staten Island
19. Thomas “Monk” Sassano/68 - Queens and Florida
20. Carmine “Top Tomato” Sciandra/61 - Staten Island, Brooklyn, Connecticut and Manhattan
21. Alphonse "Funzie" Sisca/71/Louis “Bo” Filippelli/47 - New Jersey and Queens

This don't means necessary 210 made men but even 180-200 because there not full crews.

I love how you grossly overestimate the size of defunct families like Buffalo and Kansas City and then underestimate major organized crime families like the Gambinos.

Speaking of Gambino crews, what was the evolution of vincent squllantes crew? Furio, do you have any idea?

in jack falcones book i think he said when he went undercover the feds had 23 crews on there charts but he found another two when he went undercover. That was 2003 the family has changed a lot since then.

-In 1960 this Crew was split between Rocco “Rogie” Mazzie and Anthony “Tony the Geep” Sedotto, sedotto's crew became what today is the locascio crew run by capo Andrew campos

There are not 23 active crews. May be 20 Capos, 4 in title only but I estimate there are around 14-18 "active crews" in the Family.

The guy vinny artuso is interesting he was a shooter in big pauls murder i think his gun jammed. Like that matters your where there to kill the boss and he died. He just did like 10yrs in florida state prisons thats gptta be hard makd you want to retire. Think hes married to charles n john john carneglia sister. Or there married to his. Its been a long time since a gambino member flipped publicly for the fbi i wonder who really is boss today. That guy dom cefulo is 70ish is he healthy there always pics of him smoking. Hes probaly hurting.

does pogo on BH know you are stealing his research and posting it on other forums? if it were up to me, you'd be banned from BH

Once you receive a handjob from a black guy you cannot be banned from The Black Hand.

Who has more active captains on the street: Gambino or Genovese? 20 capos seems like a lot for the Gambinos

Capo's usually have 10 made guys under them..If the Gambino's still have 200 men, its possible they have 20...I doubt it though !!

Gambino has about 16-17 active with some crews,about 3-4 having 15-20 members each .HB/Ozone Pk crews are literal armies ,Ronnie one arm Trucchio/Alphonse crew is a like a family inside the family and has been going strong for almost 30 years ! Gurino crew is also quite large ! Genovese, believe it or not has about 26 active crews and I believe the total numbers of active,semi active,retired are underestimated and have close to 285-300 members !The recruitment pool is pretty big still in HB/OZP For the Gambinos ! Between Middle village,HB,Ozp,Glendale,ridgewood,maspeth the Queens crews and associates are GIGANTIC !

Louie Devito was acting and is no longer in charge, big Lou Vallario is back in the drivers seat ! And as far as KC goes,I was speaking about 20-25 young associates and about 20-30 active associates of older age who some might possibly be made and are very active businessman involved locally in political circles ! As for Buffalo, Paul Borrelli was recently made in the last 5 years !

Also recently made In Buffalo, Richie Dorsagno and possibly Frank Meola.

Louie Devito is a captain of his own crew now with about 6 guys under him .Almost forgot Buffalo, add Paul Mancuso of Utica as made,Not to be confused with that rat that was featured on Ganglandnews a few weeks back ! Not sure of his father Les or brother Stevie but he got his badge 10-11 yrs ago ! Also, possibly made is one of the Brindisi sons ?

please stop this shit it is killing this site

Stop What ??@gangsterreport, This is a board to post topics and discuss ,Opinions,so called facts !! Its not my problem if your so Ignorant and you sound like a whiny Lil girl already ! And another thing,I spent 16 years of my life in Fed and state prisons and I just completed my parole and I'm gonna let you tell me what to say,how to think,what to post etc !! Shut up and take a hike a hike buddy !!

I don't disrespect anyone,enough is enough ! Everyone has opinions,Some know more than others,Some is fact,Some skepticism but do you really believe what LE,So called Experts,Historians and everything they say ,Along with mainstream media ? Its wrong !! Very Wrong!!! Do you really think those charts are correct ? They are so far off its comical !!! Do you really believe that all these people in different circles,families that they've identified are all that's out there ? There are so many members that will never be identified and so many associates that will remain unknown !! If you want to believe all that crap as the final word and the final say than that's up to you ! These organizations have been around 100 or more years and will be here for much longer ! Its like the Oceans, What ? 75% of the world is made up of Water,Oceans and how much has been explored ? 7% ? Its too vast ! Well, I'd say that up until currently I think LE has only uncovered and documented a small percentage of what goes on and who is who ! The Mob operates 24/7 ,7 days a week,365 days a year and 90% of the people involved and the daily goings on will never be heard about !

The smell of bullshit

You're here three weeks and you're already starting to flame others?? Stop it NOW or you won't make four weeks.

To everyone else - ignore this guy if you can't be decent to him. If he is here to disrupt the boards he'll get tired of being ignored and leave.

Not sure why 20 sounds high to people. They have 200+ members.

Ozone Park hardly has any Italians left. There is a small pocket of Italians along Linden Boulevard. Hardly a recruitment area at all anymore.

Seems like half of Howard Beach is up for sale, too.

Middle Village and a bit of Maspeth are still Italian but tend to have more Bonanno's.

Whitestone and Bayside are heavily Italian, and a bit of College Point.

I just don't see how it is demographically possible for there to be "small armies" of crews in ozone/HB anymore.

I know it seems hard to believe or hard to see ,and your right Ozp and other areas listed have changed ! All I can say is ,You would have to have grown up there and be involved in things to know ! Nobody hangs out on the street anymore,anywhere ! Technology,Computers,internet,cell phones etc etc have changed everything ! The corrozzos and trucchios had,and have Gigantic followings and they are literal armies and they have interests in all types of businesses all over queens and huge parts of Nassau county that they regularly hang out at ,drink,do biz etc etc ! If you were at street level , and were passing through you'd have no clue whatsoever ,But,if you knew where to go on a weekday or a Fri.or sat night you'd know ! Bonnanos are also heavy in HB,Ozp ! And they hang out with,do biz with everyone, Latin kings, bloods etc ! The gangs are subservient and are the ones running the show on the streets !

Whitestone/College pt/bayside/Douglaston all surrounding areas are mostly Genovese ,majority But,there is also everyone else except Colombo ! @flushing, I take it your from the area ?

Yes I'm from there. I spent a good deal of my youth with friends from HB, Ozone, Woodhaven, Canarsie, all over. I do have a good recollection of how things were and how they are now. I worked in the JFK warehouse industry for years. I remember vividly the time cards in the morning. Some were used every day by the regular employees. Then there was a batch of time cards that were left alone, never clocked in, and were allegedly full time employees. They were, of course, the no show guys. The only time I ever even saw these guys show up was when we had a city wide blackout and they showed up to guard 182nd street with shotguns.

I dont steal nothing, idiot. I ever write that the stuff come to Pogo from BH forum and there are no copyright. Maybe must ban you from this forum motherfucker.

I've made more bullshits on BH forum and never ban me. I hope that Dino will be raped by a fag with a 30 cm dick.

dinocrocetti is a troll.

Furio clearly credited Pogo for making the chart, nothing wrong with sharing it.

Right Tommy, Furio always credits Pogo when he posts his charts. I've seen it many times.

Dino can be a huge troll sometimes indeed, like this disgusting 'felching' shit he constantly brings up LOL

Paul Borrelli was not made by the Buffalo family or whatever is left of it. he was the operator of that huge book in Rochester (that some ex Sabres players were betting with) and the owner of a lot of real estate in the northern part of rochester by the lake. OC type activity but he is not tied or even an associate to any OC family. if anything because of the size of the book, he would be connected THROUGH (not connected with) overseas PPH software players TO some guys in NYC. thats it. use your head. theres a shitload of OC / LCN activity up there in rochester and buffalo but theres absolutely no reason to be a "made" member of whatever family you think is operating up there. theres no mob politics up there like there is in NYC. im from nyc but have family in that area and its a small tightly connected place. remnants of former made guys running scams and selling drugs? yes. 3rd generation relatives of former made guys doing quasi legit businesses? yes. formal making ceremonies (especially of a guy who was just popped) ? absolutely not

OK,Well I heard otherwise! I also met Paul Borrelli quite a few times as I was introduced to him by Joe Colombo Jr. After I was released from Nys prison in 2007. I was very good friends with Joe Jr and we had met Paul borrelli in Newburgh on the river and he was reffered as a friend of ours from Buffalo ! Anthony Colombo is affiliated with the buffalo family and was all over with guys from buffalo,Rochester,Utica,Monticello etc !

I'm from NYC as well,currently, born n bred !

Furio these charts are NOT always accurate , there people like us just guesstimating , these are not an authority on numbers the mob have , I don't know why you keep posting them ?? How does anyone know the real numbers and who the capos are from day to day ?? THEY DONT

Dom, jackie aprile asked for the active crews and posted the chart. I never said that the chart are totally accurate because many facts can change it. I know that nobody can know the eal numbers ecc but in this poster there free dibate everyone can say what think ecc. So take it easy.

Its opinion,some fact,some things are known,most is unknown and everything is open for discussion ! @furio,They CRUCIFY people over here !! Lol

Hey Furio. Where in Italy you from? My sister had her honeymoon in Sorrento. Ever been?

Boss:Frank Cali,Underboss:John Gambino,Consigliere:Lorenzo mannino. Captains: 1.Jackie Nose D'amico 2.Carmine Sciandra 3.Francesco Inzerillo 4.Lou Vallario 5.Sonny Juliano 6.Tommy cacciopoli 7.Jojo Corrozzo 8.Anthony Gurino 9.Anthony Ciccone 10.Tommy Sassano 11.

Cool. Thanks, Dom.

Is there a younger Louis DeVito that was with Jackie Nose about 10 years ago when Jackie was AB ?

@MrJustSayNo.

Might want to tone it down on the BS a little bit there, buddy. In particular I'm referring to this quote: "Anthony Colombo is affiliated with the buffalo family and was all over with guys from buffalo,Rochester,Utica,Monticello etc !"

There is no mistaking that "is" means you are referring to Anthony Colombo in the present sense. Well, Anthony Colombo died last year. Here is his obituary; http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?n=anthony-colombo&pid=183656884

It's also strange that Anthony Colombo was "affiliated" with guys from Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, and Monticello despite the fact that after his release from prison in 2008, he quickly moved down to San Diego where he became an amateur author.
Before, then, when he ran the "Colombo Brothers Crew" he lived in Orange County and operated in Orange County, Rockford County, and Manhattan, and in his criminal bust, which pretty much covered his entire career as a renegade Colombo soldier, there was no mention of anything around Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Monticello, despite the fact that he was under heavy FBI scrutiny for a long time before the bust.
Maybe all of this ties into the FBI's long-running conspiracy to cover up the existence of the Buffalo crime family. Who knows. I'm not here to argue about Buffalo since that has been done a million times, but the evidence at hand shows that Anthony Colombo was definitely not connected to anywhere that far upstate.

WTF !?!? lol

moe i told you that you have the funniest comment in this site haha

Moe,sorry if I aswered now. Im from a small city near Naplesnd think that your sister made a good choice to went in italy for the honeymoon especially in Sorrento but I went there only few times with my friends.
