Who and when was the last upper echelon member in any of the five families to get whacked. We'll say from Capo on up and then the one before that. So actually who were the last two and when did they happen and from which families?

Ralph Coppola was whacked for skimming in 1998 He was whacked because Lenny Simon--a jealous creep who'd still be driving a cab if it wasn't for Ralph and Barney--got into Farby's ear, and Farby was always a little jealous of the monster earners in that family. Especially the younger guys. But you say tomato.... But you're correct. Because at the end of the day "skimming" was the excuse they used to justify the hit.

thanks PB , presumably barney and QD Okayed the hit though ?? I'd rather not go down that rabbit hole, Dom. Not with all of the trolls here lately who would LOVE to see an argument. That's what they LIVE for. For instance, I respect Ivy and other friends who believe that Barney gave the nod. But I've never believed it. However, in that family, suffice it to say that SOMEBODY very important okayed it. I'll email you later on, though .

Big Sal wasn't in NY when he got hit and it's a lot easier out of NY.

The money Ralphie was skimming came from Lenny's construction firm which was supposed to be handed over to the Westside higher-ups. Just a little theory.... Farby could have asked Lenny..."You sending $40,000 a month?" and Lenny replies: "No I'm sending $50,000 a month". It is easy to work out the missing $10,000 was skimmed by Ralphie in this example. Lenny might not have been yapping in Farby's ear, Farby might have just straight out asked him how much he is kicking up. Just saying..

The money Ralphie was skimming came from Lenny's construction firm which was supposed to be handed over to the Westside higher-ups. Not sure if you heard in, New Zealand, is it? But Lenny was Ralph's brother-in-law. He hated him from day one. He was a fucking cab driver until Ralphie and Barney set him up with the construction company and even gave him some responsibility at the Javitz and with the carpenters. If not for them, he'd probably still be driving a fucking cab. Now, often in life, you come to resent the very people who have done the most for you. You hate yourself for "owing" them, and you hate yourself for not making it "on your own." So your self-hatred manifests itself my making you resent the people who have done the most for you. Psychology aside, it's just plain old ingratitude. Ralphie was a beautiful guy, and the irony is that he never threw any of this up to Lenny's face. Keep it a theory. Because there are elements to this that can't be found on Google. Or in, New Zealand, is it? Lenny might not have been yapping in Farby's ear, Farby might have just straight out asked him how much he is kicking up. Not what happened. Farby was acting boss at the time. Lenny had to go through channels and he made sure he went through the one guy who'd go along with him because he resented the younger guys, too. Again, no Google, and you can't goad me into giving that up. And I doubt that word of mouth would have reached you in, New Zealand, is it? Just saying it to aggravate me because you know this is something that I feel strongly about. For a guy from New Zealand, you have a habit of posting about topics that hit very close to home to me, so maybe I'm getting a little paranoid. Just saying....

You answered your own question. It was more so to agree with PB's sentiment of Barney didn't OK it, just couldn't do anything about it. Thanks, fellas. But you know why he's doing this. I said my piece in the post above, even though I'm trying not to reply in this thread. But you're both friends, and you both know what's going on here. He wants an argument. Don't give him what he wants.

Don't give him what he wants. u always get them in here every now and then , the only consolation is that they don't last long here and r kicked out . It's only a matter of time before they show there true colours they can't help themselves

For a guy from New Zealand, you have a habit of posting about topics that hit very close to home to me, so maybe I'm getting a little paranoid. Just saying.... Yes I know Lenny is his brother-in-law. Ralphie got him a job at the Javit Centre with the Carpenters, after he was booted out of the Carpenters union THEN he started the construction company, although I'm not sure if Lenny set himself up with the construction company or Ralphie had a hand in it. Obviously the projects that this construction company got was because of Ralphie and Barney. If Lenny is kicking up to the WS higher-ups and Ralphie keeps skimming the tribute making Lenny look bad, you'd get pretty fucking angry to.
