I think you have to define connected . I just assumed your connected your made or maybe a made guys brothers. I see perisco bronx threw out there he might not be made but shit from all those recordings made colombo member made against him hes still lending 100k on loans. But to think the last 20 yrs scams and unions and just oldsckool loan shark+bookies its probaly a huge question. Fuck that old guy angelo ponte. Some say he had family inducted. Or just well respected by the genovese.
