Tony Rabito wants no part of running that family. You can take that to the bank, buddy. It will be TV for a number of reasons. His age, coupled with his availablity later this year, make him the top choice.

PB, is that the guy they call "Fat"?

Yeah. He's a good old guy. Whatever responsibility he's taken on is only out of a sense of obligation. He knows there's no upside to being boss.

Agreed Joe. And let´s try to stay cool without name calling and flaming.

There was a time (back around the late '70s/early '80s) when Jimmy Breslin, a very respected newspaperman here in NY, would report that Salerno was the top man in the Family. Those old reports seem to have lessened Tony's rank over the years and I'll leave it to you experts to debate the issue, but I ask, as has already been suggested, that we leave out which bodily part is doing the talking.

Now does rabito still have a crew making money?

what about vinny asaro, i heard he had a lot of the sicilian factions backing; TG would be good but too much heat constantly on him n hes a little ruff around the edges for boss.
why vinny tv, i heard he was sort of a panzy

Actually, Badalamenti has the backing of the Sicilian faction. Asaro is pushing 80. I doubt he wants the job. But I agree that he'd be a good choice.

Are the luccehse's, Colombo's and bonannos in good shape? Do you have an estimated amount of income each of the 5 families are grossing annually? I know Ralphie Perna in jersey(he's with the luccehse's)made an estimated $2.2 billion over a span of 15 moths from illegal gamblin operations. BILLION lol. In know that's hard to believe but the prosecutor was the one who said that's how much he grossed.

I "heard" Asaro was demoted years ago because of a drinking problem. But I don´t know for sure.

He looks like Freddy Krueger!

That's a ridiculous exaggeration by an overzealous prosecutor. The Feds count every single bet as if there are no bets offsetting them. In other words, if the Yankees are playing the Mets, and the Mets get a million in action and the Yankees get a million in action, the Feds call that a TWO million dollar gross. It's for headlines. It's bullshit. The Feds also fail to recognize the fact that not all of that money is collectable. There are plenty of deadbeats out there. And contrary to popular opinion, a lot of them get away with it.

I don't that that's what the Feds claim. I just dispute those claims. That's all. And I'm not a mob apologist. Any of the long time posters here will attest to that. But the claims that the Feds make in gambling cases are absolutely ridiculous.
