There it is clear as day an the article names them all...

In fact, there are only eight "made" members of La Cosa Nostra residing in Rhode Island, according to law enforcement sources.

The "made" guys on the street are Joseph Ruggiero, who's never been arrested, Raymond "Junior" Patriarca, the son of the late boss Raymond L.S. Patriarca, Rudolf "Rudy" Sciarra, in his 80s and in poor health, Pasquale Galea, Vito DeLuca , William "Blackjack" Delsanto, Joseph Achille and Robert "Bobby" Deluca.

Among the remaining mafia crew, only one or two are thought to be actively engaged in making money the old Mafia way; stealing it.

Just thought that might make a point to show how there is almost nobody left down there..

PMAC, how do you "no" or know all of the above if you havent heard? You saying by living in certain area's you come across certain information?

Pmac please elaborate

Those names were listed in an article from a year or two ago. They were missing a few if you include everyone regardless of where they currently reside, i.e in prison or whatever.

Rocco Folco, Matthew Guglielmetti, Edward Lato, Luigi Manocchio, Frank Marrapese, Alfred Scivola, and Anthony St. Laurent are in prison.

That leaves Joseph Achille, William Delsanto, Vito DeLuca, Pasquale Galea, Raymond Patriarca Jr., and Joseph Ruggiero. But not all of them are active.

Yup

That's basicatlly what the article says..I just can't belive its that low when I started to follow the mob I learned fast that NE powerbase was in prov so I assumed they had the numbers but that's not the case..

All of these guys mentioned are the well-known made guys, we'd be foolish to think there are not others out there that have just not run into the law yet.

I think 4 or 5 in all of Providence is way to low. Trust me...

Despite the low number of made members in Providence, there's been no shortage of mob activity there over the past decade or so as there have been several busts since 2000. A lot of associates involved. In recent years there have been mob cases in Providence involving 10, 20, or even 30 people.

What city has more power for the Patriarcas? Providence or Boston?

At this point, I'd say Boston. It's where the leadership is now, as well as most of the membership.

I agreee with ivy boston is the power base now and pmac and ivy said I believe there's a bunch of them always did that whole r.I there's a million of bobo marrappese and rudolph sciarra's over there . Example when old man ray was in charge thousands of made hitman but you swear it was a certain. few wiseguys over there as we do now and luigi was no fool yea he had a nice little stint made a lot of guys besides big cheese anglesco prochillio or whoever else been straighten out last decade . And since old man ray prov always had a tight ship to small a lot people but everyone knows who is who so I say among all those made men 15 or so 8 of their protege been made like a ritchie bonagflia and that kid got caught with deluca in car salesman extort last name start with a f, that kid so who else been made ...a lot of old timers passed last ten years so u know the books open....4 could've got made on christmas for all we know lol

And if you walk down atwells I tell you this damn you see a lot. Of activity between the brothels spas and strip clubs a lot cash flow close never mind what else they got going and close by you see foot runners all day long ....I think there's a crew of albanians that run a lil store or resturaunt with a red store sign out front a little up from pino vino another nice resturaunt next door to celline and rays sr nephew john patriaca law office, a lot shit there I know for a fact I know wiseguys when I see em too and u know the admin getting a nice little % for whatever going on of that

I actually agree lol there could be more made guys just under the radar an that's what I said earlier...Boston def has the upperhand now no doubt about it...an they mention a guy named Joseph ruggerio he's never been arrested there could be another 5 just like him so I got what your saying...so I agree

There were a lot of accosiates taking down in the latest strip club case.. so if they do there time come out maybe they'll be made...an onward goes this thing of there's

Speaking of your town Meffa I just bought "Most Wanted" Thomas Foley the Mass State Cop wrote it about his career and his Bulger chase. I'm not a big fan of any of these books, however I figured I'd give this one a go.

Tom foley another statie prick that's. A cocksucker he wanted in town he was just tired of bulger and connollys riegn and wanted the shine fuckin staties hate the feds lol he was tired he was gettiing not of piece of nothing

Read few books but aboout boston read the last rite about the last mob wars involiving gigi marino sean cote paul struzzella john souza romano in eastie basically the renegade faction war but that's a good book and hitman I read by martorano and I tell u this everystory u hear had a diffeent version lol

Ok? I haven't read enough yet. I know all these "biographies" are skewed and self serving. So I will keep an open mind.

Mark silverstein why does that sound familiar but I can't put my finger on it...
