I'm pretty sure a lot of the guys Martin Scorsese spent time around growing up were a part of this crew. In the Mean Streets special features there's a documentary where they interview some of Scorsese's friends growing up in Little Italy, one of them is named "Morelli", and he said his father was in the mob. I've looked at several charts of this crew and "Black Alex" Morelli is the only Morelli I ever see in there. There was also someone named DeFeo always posting on Scorsese's instagram account and asking Scorsese if he knew his "grandfather" Peter.
