LCN in Connecticut

I was wondering what influence the LCN had in CT? I don't know much about the mafia besides what I read in the media and through independent news sites such as is one. I know from reading that the Gambinos had a presence here (I live in the Hartford area) it what about the other families? Thanks I'm advance for the information and I apologize about my lack of current LCN knowledge.

Welcome to the board. But there's no need for another Connecticut thread. If you try our search feature, you'll get lots of hits.

Here's a link to a recent thread:

Thank you sir! I take it you're the administrator for this board? If so, great work and thank you for doing it!

No, I'm not an administrator. Just trying to help .

Yep cheech has good stuff. From my reading experience the Patriarca's and I think the Genovese had dealings in CT. I think the CT River was the border? Is that right cheech?

William grasso the former underboss of the patriarca family was based in Connecticut ?

Decavalcantes also had a crew in Ct. for years.

Most of what the Gambinos are into up there has to do with gambling, whether its card games, sports betting or shaking down independent bookies, and also loansharking goes hand in hand with gambling. i assume your familiar wight the most recent Depreta bust? if not-

Correct me if I'm wrong but up that way you have Tony M obviously, Tony Ascenzia with the Patriarca's who had a small crew when he got busted last, and the Curcio bros with the Westside

Also Conrad ianniello's 2012 indictment involved him extorting garbage hauling companies in Connecticut.

That's nothing new, and it only makes sense because Uncle Matty had most of the Connecticut carting industry sewn up before Connie even came into the picture. Before the Feds took over his companies and put him out of business, Tommy Milo alone had at least half-a-dozen companies in that State. And Tommy belonged to Matty. He made a fortune up there. But like a lot of mob connected carters back in the '90s, he was forced to sell his companies to the Feds at a fraction of their worth.

Today there are a bunch of smaller companies up there with two and three trucks apiece. Some of the owners play the role pretty good, but most of them aren't with anyone.

Matty the Horse (secretly) owned a minor league hockey team in Danbury.

Yeah, I remember that story going public when Jimmy Galante was on trial. And like I said in my post above yours, Tommy Milo belonged to Matty. And Jimmy belonged to Tommy .

Shit rolls downhill, money rolls uphill .

That's correct Dixie.

John Liquori who was arrested in that bust just had his son die a few weeks ago. Hit by a car while jogging. Only 20 or something close to that. They let john go to the hospital but not the services pieces of snit cocksuckers that they are.

That was absurd. The guy is more than 2/3rds finished with his sentence for a non violent crime .

Did he have a lawyer? That's Just not right! What if he had asked to pay the Marshals for his security to pay his respect to his son? Like you said it was a non violent gambling conviction!

I hate to say it because it's a very sad thing. But I tend to believe that a better lawyer would have been able to spring him for the funeral. I mean, I've heard of heavy guys getting out for family services. And this kid is just a bookmaker .

That is disgusting, I don't often feel sorry for mob guys but like PB says, he wasn't a heavy guy, couldn't even see his son buried.

It was actually Matty Ianniello who was indicted for the Connecticut garbage industry extortion back in 2006. The Conrad Ianniello indictment involved, among other things, extortion in the construction industry and at the San Gennaro Festival.

Just a bookmaker. Sad really. Kid went jogging and never came home.
Better lawyer gets him to the services, true

Yeah, I remember that, Ivy. I believe that was Matty's last court case. It was kinda like watching Muhammad Ali fight after he was already a shadow of his former self .

Ya ur right my mistake.

Frank piccolo was a big gambino captain in ct until tt hat snake castellano let the west side whack his own capo. Hate gotti but paul was a pos

One of castellanos biggest mistakes letting the Genovese family influence him to take piccolo out , they replaced him with tommy debrizzi who moaned about the commute to the ravenite , they whacked him aswel , apparently the guy who is in power there now had a hand in it as he was made in the gambinos not to long after

That was Paul's biggest mistake.

Forget about "Paul's a businessman and not a gangster," and "Paul's a greedy pig," and "Paul's only boss because of fucking Carl," and all that other bullshit. If Paul didn't give the nod to whack Piccolo, Gotti never would have gotten enough backing to whack him. Never.

That was the last straw. And the funny thing is, it took four years for Gotti to exploit. But when his back was to the wall with the Ruggiero tapes, that's when he pulled it out of his sleeve.

Not too long after? How about that week?

Megale?

is that your final answer or would you like to use a life line?

Scarfo's relatives were Piccolo's but there were some Piccolo's from NY he didn't get along with and was related too. Chin & Co I believe wanted him to play nice with his own blood up there. I could be wrong but Remember reading that before in a NJ Crime Comission Report.
