Wow...do you hear yourself? You know more than the US Attorney? That is the most irresponsible statement I have ever heard about the Patriarca's. There is NO structure left. Made guys in New England who are left may be running "some" operations, but there is NO hierarchy in any way, shape or form. If you think the made guys left are smarter than federal law enforcement and the US attorney, you are so out of touch with reality. Just because there was some corruption in Boston's FBI office, to make a sweeping generalization about ALL of the FBI being corrupt is so irresponsible.
Please enlighten everybody with your structure. Name the top 3 guys, all Captains, made members and do everybody a favor and list credible, professional sources. If you say Peter Limone is boss, I'll puke in my mouth. He's so smart, that when he got out of jail, he deposited over $150k in his checking account. Providence is wiped out completely. The Patriarca's haven't exactly had a real boss since Manocchio, as Limone and Dinunzip were jokes. Especially Fat Anthony. I get it, you're a street guy, but with all the informants that have plagued New England's mob family, the government would have released information as to who "are potential" successors...and they haven't done that and won't be doing it because the days of a structured organization are as close to being defunct as they ever have been. You said guys were made in the mid 2000's? Who? Where's your source? We're you there? If there was, don't you think guts like DeLuca and Rossetti along with many other rats would have provided that information? Especially DeLuca. That kind of information would have been reported immediately. You're the type of guy who thinks mobsters are smarter than educated, federal employees who do nothing but get inside information and spend their lives 7 days a week cultivating info, conducting non stop surveillance...yet you claim you know more than they do? They may not "know everything," but they certainly have their finger on the pulse and "major" news like the making of new members and having a boss, underboss, consigliere etc would be leaked to the media.
Think about it, there have been more convictions over the last 5 years of the top guys from both factions due to informants and you think all of a sudden nobody in law enforcement knows anything?
If you think you are correct, I challenge you to provide your source so you could prove your claim. If you say something with conviction, you need to back it up with proof. If you don't provide a professional source or say you know this because you're a knock around guy, that hardly qualifies as anything but pure uneducated nonsense.
So JoeRusso...let's see your proof. Demonstrate to anybody following this thread that you're right and ALL of the government is completely stupid and not aware of a formal hierarchy. The government of the United States just put away the biggest players in New England, yet you say they know nothing. I bet you also think that every person who was convicted were framed. You think because of a John Connolly and some other agents were protecting that halitosis ridden, old dart Whitey, that every single FBI agent in a Boston/Providence are corrupt or don't know anything...that's absurd and irresponsible to even assume that.
