I think jersey may have 2 crews. Also, the staten island / brooklyn crew is missing. Also Patty Dellarusso in long island.

had dellorusso as UB does he also run a crew on long island?
and could find no good info on the situation with the brooklyn crews. one is based in staten island that at some point john castellucci was capo. but the new admin apparently does not like him nor anyone else in the family and i think he's imprisoned,i could be wrong.
all i could find for who the other brooklyn crew leader was that its someone appointed by desantis that is close to him?
if nj has 2 crews it isnt leaving much room for the homegrown decavalcante family to operate.

Amuso is still the boss.He is still making the decisions.DiBenedetto doesn’t send messages for Amuso because he hasn’t visited him for years, they fell out.Frank Papagni could possibly be a Capo now.Big John has been replaced but it’s not known by who.Patty was elevated to Capo after DeSantis became Acting Boss though afterwards they were talking about reinstating a crew in Brooklyn.Though now, Pennisi has said Patty Dellorusso became a Capo in Brooklyn in 2017
