Does anyone know the number of the American Mafia crime families in 2013?
who is the boss, the captains, the number of the made man and of the associates, the territory that control etc.

especially the families out new york

NJ,Boston,Cleveland ecc

Maybe more Irish than Italian in Cleveland?

Kansas city still has a sizable amount of activity. There was a multi million dollar sports betting bust a few years back

That doesnt mean anything. A small book with 10 good customers could qualify as a million dollar sports betting ring. Not that big a deal

Exactly. A relatively small bookmaking bust does not make a crime family. Other than the 5 NY families, the only ones left are small families in New Jersey, New England, Philadelphia, Chicago, and maybe Detroit.

I was just going to post the same thing, Skin. And those numbers are always inflated to boot.

Nicky, I love ya. But you gotta stop looking for wiseguys where there aren't any. By the time you're my age, it'll all be over, or it'll be changed radically. So make sure you stay in school .

and here poor nicky thought he was talking to "Mafia Royalty" when he spoke to EHI fat tony's grandson

Speaking of grandparents, hows that old lady whos house you robbed dick?

Here is a reason why Kansas city would probably have a better chance of with standing the government: kc has real family members, like cousin uncles brothers nephews and marriages. Plus the hard to find info on that family the stronger they'll survive

Ny doesn't have all they got are rats....on every corner. Sorry but here another thing don't ever try to fuck. Any living breathing wiseguy nowhere because somehow in someway no matter what city they're all connected

The same nonsense is said about the Detroit family.



Were you drunk when you typed this?

I'm pretty sure there's 6 Italian brothers running Denver as well

The current Chicago Outfit is split into two factions--Cicero and Elmwood Park. Salvatore Cautadella and Jimmy I run Cicero for Michael Sarno...with Frank Caruso's 26th Street Crew reporting into them along with a small crew in Chicago Heights and NW Indiana. Their rackets tend to focus more on the street crimes--juice, extortion, burglary, etc.

Elmwood Park is run by John and Pete DiFronzo with Alby Vena's Grand Avenue crew reporting into them along with Solly DeLaurentis' lake county crew. Joe Calato who is frequently referred to as "Joe Kong Cullotta" is out of the rackets. this faction is far more into white collar things like zoning scams, bid rigging, etc. Most of these guys have legitimate businesses and restaurants.

There certainly have been ceremonies since the 1980s. There are rumors that Sarno made a new crop before he headed to prison. I don't think anyone is doing a ceremony anymore--that started in Chicago with Aiuppa and ended with him.

Solly D is a Cicero guy with no real "crew" in Lake County. He simply lives there and Cicero guys run any rackets up there. He and Jimmy I are the powers in Cicero, with Sammy Cuatadella, his brother and Pudge Matassa working for them, among others.

There certainly have been guys made in Cicero and 26th Street since 2003. Steve Panzarella being one of them.

Was it Solly Sr. who died last year?

Say what Shaneqwa??

Anyone know where "No Nose" resides?

His son Solly Jr. died tragically from a heart condition during a charity motorcycle ride last year. Solly Sr. resides in Wauconda now with a new wife who runs a carpet cleaning service.

No Nose owns properties up and down Grand Avenue through Elmwood Park. He and his wife once were living in one of the apartments. It was very modest. His brothers Petey and Joe both reside in Barrington I believe.

Thanks Chitown!
