bronx was carmine captain of the crew dom got?

I didn't say he wasnt! I remember kenji saying that about a year ago,that Ronnie one Arm and his kid, Vernace & Lou all came up under JoJo, like I said, Vernace got the Scala crew, then passed to Lou after he got bumped IMO

I know Ciccone's crew got broken up when he went to jail and heard few people say he's just a soldier, interesting Skinny, thanks.

Which Dom ?

Skinny, you mean Skinny Dom?

Speaking of Jimmy Brown.

Anyone think he would have made a good boss?

I have heard people say that before. Wasn't he mainly just a garbage guy? Was he that universally liked?

He would made a better boss that Gotti,that for sure I think.Very well respected and liked,at least in his neighbourhood and Im sure in the entire city too.In my opinion,Big Paul should made him boss in 85 before he was killed not Tommy Gambino.He had a big crew,and made big money with garbage.

jimmy was very sharp..knew the life as good as anyone, could have been a boss, but he was not a well liked guy, another self righteous ego.held a lot of guys back from getting made over little mistakes from their past.. underboss ..yes. devious guy.

danny m. would have been a good boss.. joe arcuri, frank loc, also, lorenzo m will make a good boss someday

I agree Bronx , Lorenzo is defo being groomed for the top spot someday , arcuri would have been a great boss , 60 odd years a gambino member from mangano through to the gotti era , it's just a shame he was 286 years old wen gotti went to the can

DannyM. being Daniel Marino right?Was he well liked,enough to be number 1?

yeah...lol..but still very sharp, so sharp pete said joe is losing it then took him out of that acting position..joe just did not want any part of the gotti mess\

yes twice..always remember, not everyone loves you..always a faction that thinks they should have the power

just read up on Acuri, seems like the real deal, was he ever even arrested?

Marino, DiMaria, and Corozza were all very tight so they have a good working relationship crew wise ( i imagine). Marino is also very well off financially and has a nice house over in dyker heights.

danny is worth 10's of millions, those guys are close now, not before dan went to prison in 94

are corozzo's rich

not like danny

seems like marino did real well under big paul and probaly better under gotti cause he didnt take so much ive read. seems like gotti and him got along fine. theres wire taps of him saying nothing bad about sr. to kasman but saying jr could shine his shoes or something. read that guy acuri had his own little paving union/black top. i dont know for how long but im guessing he made bank for along time. marino had ins on the javitts place where comic con is.

danny got his uncles riches, then made more..but in was all carmine.. it was 1018 pavers..had the local from first day it was formed..joe a. owned bldgs. in nyc going back 80 years with his father ..

I want to say he never did prison time. Is that true?

Wiki:
"In 1991, Gravano became a government witness and implicated Failla in the 1989 Spinelli murder. In April 1993, Failla was charged with racketeering and murdering Spinelli.[6] In 1994, in a plea bargain deal, Failla pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder. During the sentencing phase, Failla appeared in court on crutches and his lawyer pleaded for leniency based on his client's heart problems and hypertension. Failla was sentenced to seven years in prison.[2][7]

On August 5, 1999, James Failla died of natural causes in a federal prison in Texas."

Cheers, Sonny.

Ah, good old hypertension. The old fall back option for a mobster standing in front of a judge.

I'm sure I read failla was acting boss of the gambinos for a short time in between gambino dying and castellano being elected boss

Great find, any idea when this was taken?

it's from the John H Davies book Mafia dynasty Tommy

65 degrees out in December sweet. I see these pics are kinda old I seen a recent won from probaly 5 yts back when he got arrested. So he must be back on the street. This guy is like is the last capo from probaly big pauls days. He probaly be like in retired but if he makes any money on some illegal shit you think he kicks up to however. I think yes he knows the rules. He was smart he seen rite threw Lewis kasman trying to entrap him.

Whoever.
