I have a few questions about this crew. I always knew that the Lucchese Family had a strong presence there, but only recently understood just how strong it was.

(1) Does ANYONE in the world have a picture of Joeseph Abate? I have been wondering what he looks like for a very long time.
(2) When is Mad Dog expected to get out of prison?
(3) Just how poerful is Ralph Vito Perna? If Mad Dog is released, is it correct to assume that he will be the "Boss" of the crew (as well as a capo for the Luccheses) and that Perna will be under him for the purposes of the Jersey hierarchy (though still clearly a Lucchese capo).
(4) Who are the other active Capos in the Jersey Crew?
(5) It seems to me that the Jersey Crew likely has about 30 made guys. If the estimates are correct, this could account for around 30% of the entire Lucchese Family. With the irrelevance of Cutaia and the Brownsville Crew and the demise of Casso/Amusso, it really seems like the Geographic Territory of the Lucchese Family is in the Bronx, Manhattan and New Jersey. Seem Right? Unless Castelluci is a powerhouse . . .
