Your right Gambino mobster Willie marshall Potenza,did start out with Vinny Artuso back when he was in high school..wow you know your stuff.. Well there was a rumor about his biological father being Italian and that came up from greg depalma..but then again it was greg..willie was a good guy a shame they screwed him over.. Joe Messina talking about hating rats and being a boss became one, john jr gotti also ratted on several guys Danny Marino one of them then changed his mind(queen for a day)he was never made for that life doesn't matter who his father was.. I guess when shit hits the fan all these guys scatter and do what they have to do for themselves, just the way it is.. But that dude willie marshall was one of a kind took my buds back and saved his life among other guys he helped..true tough guy..

What about Northeast Pennsylvania such as Scranton, Pa or its surrounding areas? I have heard things from people about possible small scale mafia operations, but never anything official since D'Elia went away.

Died when D'Elia was put away....only a couple of old stragglers are left.

Where did you hear that?

Just know it's the truth plenty of people know...

Ivy did the colombos not have a powerful crew in Massachusetts under Ralph deleo ?? They must have been pretty powerful he ended up street boss ?

Well, if you look at the indictment and the articles about DeLeo, he was basically just running a small crew involved in drugs and guns up in Boston. He performed some job duties of the acting boss, like attending making ceremonies and some high-level meetings, but he really wasn't in a position to run the family in New York day-to-day, which is what an acting (or street) boss does.
