Well for starters Tinos dead. His crew went to Borelli and Depiro. The biggest books in nj are phil danoias (devitas crew), and Johnny blue with Borelli. Ninny has Rocco Petrozza and Mike Cardito. Tony Palumbo has Carmy Cicalese, Lou Amendola and the masulo bros. The luccheses have Frank Legano and Frankie Paoloercio under Perno. The bonannos had Paul Mancusos package, but thats with Tony Palumbos book. Idk much about the Nj Gambinos outside of Mitas crew. Catnip and juicy are his main guys. Joe faffy is that crews main book. They are a more into lending. And the laborers. idk much about the Decavs. Scoops crew is Beeps Centoriono, Lou Fazzini, Joe Darchi, Dennis Christy and the Olivieri bros.
It seems only the Genovese family has multiple crews
based there. The Gambinos (Mitarotonda), Luccheses (Perna), and Bonannos (Sammartino) each have one crew based there. I don't think the Colombos have any at this point. Of course, that's not to say other crews, which are based in New York, don't have some operations there. For instance, though he was a member of the Corozzo crew, Skins operated in Jersey.
Idk if Gerard actually MADE $1m a wk... More like 1m a week in bets... Papers make that mistake because reporters are dumb and feds may not differentiate at a press release bc they like to be told theyre doung a good job. That crew was into a LOT... Sports was just one biz, they still own the biggest machine vending co in NJ. A lot of ppl think Tino was easily the biggest earner in Jersey but Andy G came a close second. His crew went to devita. Before gerard it was Pee Wee. Before him Tony Biordo. Before him it was his father the Boot..... Does that sound right ivy or hk? My heads a little fizzy today
I've often made the same point about differentiating between the money wagered and what's actually net profit. Both the media and law enforcement usually cite the money wagered, which makes it seem a lot bigger. I'm not sure what the usual profit margin is but I imagine it would be like 10% at most.
Your DeVita crew succession seems right. By the way, I seem to remember you saying Gatto's crew was merged with DeVita's. Is that right? The 2004 New Jersey OC report listed 5 Genovese crews in Jersey: the Fiumara crew (now Borelli), the Bruschi crew, the Gatto crew, the Prisco crew (now LaScala), and the DeVita crew. But I think they missed Dentico's crew, which would make 6 crews. But it's been nearly a decade I don't know if things are still the same.
