Is this guy in Stagno's crew? Anyone know

This article has at least one inaccuracy. David Chase said he based the Sopranos on Richie the Boots crew initially, not the Decavs, he said it in an interview.

This is the 2nd time I've seen it mentioned that the DeCavs are now under the Gambinos...Does anyone know how accurate this is or isnt?


In the end of 80s and erly 90s Gotti ordered to Decavalcante to repeat a induction ceremony,Gotti did this only to show that the Decavalcante was a b league mob family and that the Gambino rules on them.

David Chase first say that the Soprano are based on the DeCavalcantes,after on the Lucchese Jersey Crew saying that Tony Soprano was based on Michael Taccetta and after again on the Ritchie the Both Boiardo's crew at the end Chase said this 3 things so anyone can things what want about the sopranos based of.
