I think Badalamenti will take over the Bonnanos officially when he gets out.

What's up with them anyway? They got people running their crews?
And I've heard Migilore is still active. Though he's old, he's not Matty Ianniello. Healthy and not under indictment.
Also on your regard with Vinny TV, it's very likely he'll get the top spot. They need leadership up at the top. He's willing to take that on I think.

Farese bail was revoked after two days and he was sent back to jail

Think Crea has made anyone recently???

There hasn't been a damn thing on Crea since he was named boss. Who knows what he's been doing, but keeping quiet seems to be number one on his priority list. Pretty similar situation after Domenico Cefalu was named the Gambino Boss.

Guys get made every year in NY.

Who do you think is a better boss.. Cefalu or Crea?

Havent heard much on either side to make a valid choice. Both are solid, but I think Crea is a bit stonger IMO because of his historical activities involving labor racketeering, construction and the fact that he was an amazing earner.

To be honest, they are both low key and keeping quiet. If you ask me, that is what makes the perfect La Cosa Nostra type Mafia boss as it's how the old school ran things. For me, IMO as long as they don't make headlines but keep the money flowing, they are a good boss.

I agree.. Have there been any mob hits/attemps in the us this year??

^^^Nope, not that have been reported at least.

It's funny you mention being Crea being stronger and I would agree because he was/is a great breadwinner. But overall I think the Gambino's are stronger. They have less guys in jail and several are due to be released within the next year

The Gambinos are much larger/stronger and thus bring in more money, obcourse. I was just referring to Crea as an individual leader. The Lucchese's also have a ton of guys coming out as we speak in the next few years, a bunch of heavy hitters who all went away during the amuso/casso regime. Here's a taste of some guys coming out from that family in the next few years courtesy of Pogo on RD:

John Baudanza/41 (IP/8/2/2015)
Anthony “Bowatt” Baratta/69 (IP/9/25/2012)
Dominick Capelli/55 (IP/9/30/2013)
George "George Goggles" Conte/51 (IP/3/10/2014)
Domenico "Danny" Cutaia/75 (IP/11/21/2012)
Salvatore Cutaia/52 (IP/8/22/2016)
Frank “Frankie Pearls” Federico/80 (IP/2/20/2016)
James “Froggy” Galione/47 (IP/12/24/2015)
Frank "Frankie Bones" Papagni/54 (IP/11/24/2015)
Michael Perna/66 (IP/8/02/2015)
Michael “Mad Dog” Taccetta/60 (IP/9/20/2015)
Joseph "Joey Flowers" Tangorra/58 (IP/12/09/2014)
George "Georgie Neck" Zappola/49 (IP/3/03/2014)

Some of those guys tried to kill Crea in the early nineties. Can they get back into the fold without much trouble?

Thats the big question. Frank Lastorino has been out for quite a while now and according to a recent gangland is involved in the family. Another guy Thomas "Tommy Red" Anzeulotto is also out with no restrictions and Michael DeSantis is also out but under strict restrictions. I think everybody will fall in line, things are running smoothly for that family for the most part in NY in recent memory.

Yeah took awhile didn't it? It just goes to show what a stable, money making Boss can do for a family as opposed to violent psychopaths like Casso and Amuso who nearly ruined the Lucchese's. If they can avoid more indictments within the next few years they'll be on the rise again.

Out of both crea and cefalu heres things to consider
Cefalu-Made in the old country a zip runs his family like a mustache pete most likely
Crea-Good earner, supposed high amount of legitimate income traditional american mafiosi

Basically its comparing a Americanized boss to a Sicilian hard to say
