well not much new revealed to be honest, but thx for post rush. by not much new i mean not much that scott hasnt already posted on his site r.e. latin kings sit down, sarno boys etc.
however i still have some questions.
what in 2025 then do we make of sal cataudella? although mentioned alot in half hour podcast not once did i hear; boss, underboss, capo in reference to him except when sb referred to his time with sarno on street as his ub or right hand man top lt. etc.
does the outfit have an underboss anymore? i heard boss and street boss the most. if by street boss we are to assume he means underboss he would have said that. i have come to learn the street boss moniker is equal to saying acting boss. so is vena acting boss? i wish scott would stick to accepted terms when describing these admin members.
more to follow....

and i have to wonder after watching this vid and a couple others i have quickly perused as well. does scott speak the way he does to hide who his possible sources of information are. why the use of so many non mafia related terms. the section about fratto was unintelligable. hes a "capo but bigger than that, more like a boss, but also consigliere who heads his own faction within the outfit" to paraphrase a little...wtf is he talking about? the elmwood park crew is and always has been a crew in the outfit with a capo who is below a the BOSS and UNDERBOSS end of story. so i dont think frattos position as ep capo is in anyway different than venas from grand avenue or caruso for 26th street. they all act as advisors to members of their respective crews. they all settle disputes at street level if any arise and all money from their crews flows up to them and onto 2 higher ups in admin. i dont see why frattos position is any different also considering he has most likely been capo the shortest at least amongst vena and caruso.
the mention of the sarno boys again is a misnomer as i have said on other threads its 'the sarno street crew' if we want to use generally accepted outfit terms. scott implies cataudella has total authority over this crew with sarno at times acting as an advisor. all believable i guess but back to cataudella and what actual position he holds. there was a mention of john matassa as possible consigliere, i dont believe this and never have. if matassa held such a title why is he not the one mediating sit down with latin kings?
