it appears that upon creating list of possible cicero crew capos over the years i have stumbled upon a possible cause of friction in outfit and said crew in 2009/2010 time period. this alleged conflict has come across the years here on gbb and other sites and it is between the 'old guard of outfit' and younger cicero crew members. it has also been claimed that salvatore delaurentis stepped in at the behest of the administration to resolve this conflict and likely he was promoted because of it. is it possible this conflict had to do with who would succeed mike sarno as cicero crew capo. now whatever actual position sarno held at this time is still in dispute, some claim he was acting boss, i think acting underboss for a time. what is not disputed is that sarno was capo and with his dec 2010 conviction awaiting sentencing the crew would need a new capo.

but regardless of promotion one would think sarno would have appointed an acting capo, likely salvatore cataudella as it has been stated he was sarnos #2. so lets say sarno was acting boss, cataudella acting capo, this setup would have been in place before oct 2008 release of james inendino and possibly even mar 2006 release of delaurentis, if one is to believe sarno was acting boss this most certainly happened post apr 2005 family secrets arrests.

so is it possible that when sarno was convicted dec 2010, cataudella and other members of his street crew thought that by rights the capo spot in cicero crew should have gone to cataudella not who i believe did, james inendino. now step in a respected senior member in delaurentis and he rules in favor of the, well senior respected member inendino who at first takes over as acting and then as i have stated above full capo of crew circa 2012.
