At least not for the foreseeable future. These aren't legit corporations. A captain in one of the other families isn't going to want to suddenly become responsible for a bunch of Colombo guys that he doesn't know that well. While there may be some guys (associates) who drift over to other families, seems to me it would be more likely the other families would just let the Colombos continue to deteriorate and scoop up their rackets. Heck, the Genovese did that to the Gambinos in the 1990's. But again, we're a long way off from the Colombos fading out. It would be a hell of a lot easier for the feds to hammer away at one big "merged" family. Imagine if the five families merged, and then the boss of this new superfamily pulled a Massino. Incidentally, I can't recall any examples of this "merger" thing actually being discussed by real mobsters. It's always been people on... crime message boards. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The last Commission meeting in 2000 was Bonanno family boss Joe Massino chaired the meeting, along with underboss Sal Vitale. Representing the Gambino family was captain Peter Gotti. Representing the Genovese family was captain Frank Giovanelli. Representing the Colombo family was consigliere Joel Cacace. And representing the Lucchese family was consigliere Louis Daidone. Among other things, those there changed the membership requirements back to 100% Italian blood for prospective members. Also discussed was breaking up the Colombo family, with it's members going to different families. But that was rejected because it wasn't realisitic and it was thought it would be disrespectful to Colombo boss Carmine Persico. http://books.google.com/books?id=8pvyqAZ...ico&f=false Last edited by Dapper_Don; 03/06/12 10:02 PM. Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife? Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.
