Really a lot of outright bullshit on this thread about Mike Magnafichi. Mags was direct with Joe Andriacchi, his late father's best friend as both came up together under Cerone in the Elmwood Park Crew. Mike made some seriously fucked up business decisions and got in a lot of bad deals with guys like Anthony Chiaramonte. He borrowed money from Joey A to get back on his feet. When he lost that too, Joey couldn't do anything more for him and he was frozen out. It had nothing to do with the Elmwood Park crew "retreating" or whatever the fuck. It was over money plain and simple.
