Jenkins? Folcarelli? The Costas? Iafrate? These guys in the most recent federal affidavits are still considered associates. I will agree that a few of the names were made but not nearly enough to replenish the amount of general attrition. And let's face it, Billy Angelesco is a severe heroin addict so if that's who is being made, the family is in trouble. Louie DiNunzio has never been confirmed and Jenkins isn't even Italian. I find it hard to believe that Baby Shacks made some of these clowns...Why would he make so many guys in Boston but hardly anybody in Providence which is in his own back yard?

Yes, the FBI had some corruption in Boston, that's been well documented...and after that scandal, you don't think that the FBI director reassigned or appointed the most squeaky clean federal agents to the Boston office for damage control and public relations? 98% of FBI agents do their job with integrity and these guys know almost every move these guys on the streets are making. Surveillance, informants and regular citizens in the neighborhood are providing detailed info on most of these guys. It's their job to be on them 24/7. They know who they talk to, who they do business with, where they go and when. The mafia "isn't" a secret anymore. You don't think DeLuca and Rossetti gave them a ton of shit? You don't think Salemme gave them everything? These guys aren't intelligent, most of them are street thugs from the neighborhood and guys like Angelesco are trolling the black neighborhoods looking for their next shot of heroin. C'mon man, wake up.

Here is a clip from SA Jeffrey Sallet on the New England Mob:
