Franky Boy Cali

Any recent news on this guy. He's likely the gambino chief, am I right.

I think people who reported on him (dnainfo specifically) were intimidated into the "nevermind he turned it down" story.

Cefalu's the boss.

If you have information which is different feel free to share

He is real smart obviously , I don't know him but he does a ton of legit so he is on the right path IMO on where this thing is headed

He is pretty well connected to Sicily,very powerful individual.He has blood ties with Inzerillos i think.

In the thread "Rare photos" i posted photos of him and some sicilian mafiosi in New York.

He married one of the Inzerillo daughters, John Gambino's niece I think

Not blood related.

No.

Welcome to the board.

No, the story never had any truth to it to begin with. So there was no need for intimidation.

to any of you mob-paparazzi you can catch him at il collosseo at nights with his sidekick!

Capeci reported it also, he's usually pretty accurate isn't he?


Who might that be?

Looks like you're coming on here to start up shit. Don't. You need to show some respect to Pizza and Skinny. So far you are not doing a very good job of it. I hope you are a quick learner.

I doubt it. He signed up two years ago, made four posts on the same day, and reappeared today. And this all coincides with a certain other poster losing all credibility this week.

Sleeper Account after Sleeper Account after Sleeper Account.

It's like getting rid of cockroaches in a tenement. No matter how much you clean up after the old tenants, the slimy posters---oops, I meant bugs---always find their way back.

^^ and you think this topic was coincidental?

@Pizza Good analogy
I doubt it too. That's why I want to call the guy out to eliminate the drama and the bullshit before it begins. Now if I'm wrong about this poster then I will eat my words and apologize but I don't think I am.

Of course not. But I don't want to drag that person into this. We ALL got played over there, and I'd still like the chance to talk things out with that person someday. Because I KNOW that I didn't do anything wrong.

This other scumbag might be a junkie, but he's a decent manipulator.

He has enough legit businesses to scale back on the CN stuff. My question is...why the fuck would this guy want to stay No.2 in the Gambinos and keep catching heat from all directions. Smart? no doubt but the guy is a multi-millionaire he should tell the mob to go fuck themselves.

Jeez guys I'm not trying to stir up nothing. Just had a genuine interest, or curiosity about the guy. Isn't that what you post about around here.

Drop the act. Nobody is falling for it. I advise you to just quit while you're ahead because no one will be taking your posts seriously.

No seriously, chill out.
A bunch of "street" people posting on an internet forum, right. Get real.

---Let's get this thread Back on Track----

It is not Frank Cali.

Frank Cali was the underboss and refused to be the family boss

http://www.businessinsider.com/mob-pick-for-godfather-turns-down-job-2013-7?IR=T

that is not frank

Pretty sure it is

Completely made up

I think it's Robert DeNiro.

Yep.

"They made him an offer — but he refused."

Bet you the author felt real good about that one.

You were right,it is not Frank Cali on the photo.

Got to remember that picture was taken about 12 years ago wasn't it? 2003 If my memory serves me right.

You seen Lorenzo Maninno now? looks like a completely different person to the man that went inside.

It's not Frank. Civilian named Carmelo.

It wouldn't even faze him. The man has NO shame whatsoever.

Thank you for answer.Edited the post

it is anthony the singer,

anthony

Who?

Why did you say it was about a year ago?

I remembered now,at first we all though it was him,until carmela back then said it is not him.It has nothing to do with her,it is my mistake,bad memory.

Tommy he is a guy who thinks he is a singer actor around Frank..nice guy.. but a non mob player

Ah, thanks Strax, bronx.

I just got that!

I don't think a gambino capo would be photographed with his black mistress. No offense to darker skinned peoples.

He's only 50 and has done barely any prison time. He knows how to keep a low profile. Why not become underboss and make money off all those guys under you? The Gambinos are pretty stable right now. And most importantly, some people are just CN to the core, regardless of being smart or not.

The boss.

Seems like. Interesting him replacing Italian Dom, though not really considering they're both of the same mold, just a generation or so apart.

Capeci still thinks Pete Gotti holds the official boss position, despite saying he has no say in family matters and it is in name only. Sounds like bullshit to me, he said cefalu took the official spot in 2011. You keep a guy like Gotti official to take heat off the guys on the street, yet all LE knew Cefalu was boss from 2011 onwards, makes no sense. No way Pete holds any title.

celfeau is the first official boss since the gottis celfeau becoming the official boss ended the gotti era

Not according to Capeci today, he said that 4 years ago but he's changed his tune.

It is pretty wild that after all the high profile bosses, that we now don't know who the bosses of many of these families . I would not doubt that they are building there network and ranks . I know it will never be what it was . The fact guys are keeping there mouth shut amazes me, finally after shooting themselves in the foot for years .

Since the Feds have decreased there pressure on the mob since 2012 things have been good for them

I know an agent who recently retired because he has a family and kids and all they wanted him to do was travel around the country and conduct surveillance on internet terrorists. That is there main focus right now and probably will be for a long time to come.

What kind of role will Dom play in the family now? Or is he simply going to step back and kind of be "retired"?

Also makes me wonder how Cali will align the administration now.

Regardless of what anyone imagines, Capeci is still better hooked in than ANYONE on these forums. But that doesn't mean he can't correct himself if needed. If you look at his track record, it's remarkably consistent, especially compared to most other OC writers. But are we now going to cherry pick the few times he's reversed himself as justification to ignore him? Seems similar to what some also do when they want to discredit the feds by pointing out Fat Tony being indicted as the boss.

Capeci even gave a qualifier this time - Peter Gotti is boss in name only - and that's still not good enough. Some people take it upon themselves to claim "there's no way he's getting any tribute." This reminds me of the people who claimed years ago that Peter Gotti wasn't the boss then either. And that nobody was kicking up to him. Never mind he was eventually indicted as the boss and information came out about him receiving tribute every week.

We should be grateful that we have guys like Capeci, Anastasia, or Robbins giving us info when possible. Without Capeci's article this week, we wouldn't know about the change at the top. I'll take Capeci's information on his worst day over the theories by forum posters which, frankly, have a godawful track record.

I dont think anyones denying PG still has the title.

My only query is why the ruse by the Bino's on this?

Its so pitiful not even the man himself would believe its worth more than the paper its written on.

He could still be boss for all we know, consig spot is vacant now Vernace got life.

He was official consigliere so he would have to step down even with life in prison.

Boss and hasnt even driven a crash car.

Don't post much ..just like to read comments..but did you guys ever think that maybe there is a 2 man panel...or 3..They had to change the Head of The Family title because a few years back, if you were the Head of the Family (acting or not) you would get remanded, no parole just for being the Boss.

Why would he have to step down, the boss could simply replace him.

I think this is one of his businesses. used to be in Brooklyn.


Bontel U S A Corp


1001 Roosevelt Avenue Unit 4
Carteret, NJ 07008

I'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of this kind of stuff - but if Vernace was consigliere - would it not be kind of rude and undiplomatic to take that title off him, if he doesn't want to step down?

I mean he does his time and if he holds any kind of respect, why would you kick that hornets nest?

i thought bobby vernace was part of a panel and that jo jo corezzo held the official title maybe i a wrong and bobby was the consgliere.

I agree they will prob let him keep his stripes and just install an "acting" consgilierie

Corrozzo was replaced by vernace and not on an acting basis , vernace still is official consigliere

So is it ? FC , DC , or PG ?

Some think it's JG

i think its FC if thats what capeci believes then i will go along with that till i hear something different (an indictment)

He slapped a made guy in prison. And although he somehow managed to win the sitdown and get the kid knocked down from skipper, what comes around goes around. That's the life.

we are talking about bobby right?


I have a question what would happen if a underboss or a boss of a family punched another made guy thats against there rules but then again a boss is the boss


(i am thinking of the sopranos here when tony attacks ralphie )

Yeah lol. But that'd be different wouldn't it? Ralphie just killed and innocent woman and all, plus didn't Paulie just basically tell him to shut up and take it, that Tony is the boss?

I was asking how realistic that was like wheat would happen if that was to happen now.




Yes it was terrible what happened to the girl but she was a outsider and a whore so they prob would not care in real life but what do I know

Tony was upset because he killed her at the Bing.

not carmelo..anthony the singer

read capeci this week now he has conflicting sources. some saying cefulo is boss and cali still underboss. dont no why he had the desire to be boss and step down for anyone. money must be good. and im guessing all them sicilians in brooklyn dont get along great. theres no blood relation between cefulo and cali right? cefulo was a conte guy does that mean he was tight with the cherry hill guys. conte was around before them in america and probaly as strong a capo or stronger no? conte had one of the defendants in the pizza trial almost whacked he was baldimeti nephew. probaly for toto back home. pat conte was sneaky lowkey, his own brother fliped for the feds and turned witness a reason conte plead out and cefulo. anyone know if he was a made guy. interesting to know who held more power in america john gambino or conte cause they both sold tons of H but conte had all the investments in america that fucking supermarket chain. and narcos on netflix pretty solid banged out like 6 7 eps in 2 days. love guzman from carlitos way that guy is the best. sneaky fact he lives up vermont on a big farm. remember me benny blanco from the bronx. bang bang. ok benny lets go, bang bang. no you stay here. how you like them comas and periods.

I love your comas, pmac. Lol.

Also, isn't this the second time Capeci has done this with Cali? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Your thinking Crea and Amuso

Bump for one of the more interesting crime bosses. Any new info, rumors?
