Matthew Madonna

Quick Question - I have seen MM listed as the Lucchese Underboss by more than one source and I am wondering where this information comes from. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Last I saw he was on a 3 man panel with Joey Dee and someone else

Obviously with him in jail that is probably no longer the case

I think that panel was disbanded when Crea got out and off supervised release.

Yeah I think you're right. Forgot about that for a second.

Capeci has him as Street boss.

I decided he is Acting Underboss.

Titles aside, He was No.2 Lucchese guy on the streets.

He plead guilty to racketeering charges last month so may not even be on the streets, that and the fact that he is 80 years old means he is probably no longer even in the administration.

Joey DiNapoli looks like death on a plate. The last time I saw him was at his nephew's restaurant a few months ago and he was as grey as a dark cloud. He never leaves home. I wouldn't call it official, but he's just about done. You can take that to the bank.

Regarding Matty: Whatever his status was, right now he's an old timer doing prison time. The guys from the old Mikey Salerno crew and closest to Stevie are the guys helping him run the ship (aside from the fact that the Feds and Capeci are still calling Amuso "The Boss," which is fine for them, but just fucking semantics).

Il re è morto, lunga vita al re!

Spot-fucking-on.

PB, why no more PMs?

Madonna was reported to be the acting or street boss in July 2014. This last May he was reported to be underboss.

Where was the May report from?

Too many crazies. I'll open my pm and send you my email when I get home. I'm on the road right now.

Ivy, do you believe his position changed or the press was correcting themselves? One reason why press reports may be unreliable...

You answered your own question.

It's a skill!

Where in CT are you MH?

From what I remember from your posts, Southwest of you.

I sent you a PM

never got it. i sent you one

I just opened mine to send you a short one.

How old is DiNapoli?

Almost 80.

And, like I said earlier in the thread, he looks closer to 90 these days. His health issues are far from an act.

Thanks boys.

You're a gentleman, Scalish. And when you act as such, you get treated as such.

Unfortunately, the slew of weirdos who show up here ten at a time, or create accounts three years ago and just start posting now, don't understand this. And we all know that it's the same one or two scumbags---one, in particular, who try to ruin a good time for everyone here. Because he's so self-loathing for being a junkie who resorts to robbing the elderly, that if he can't find peace, he doesn't want anyone to have peace.

Here's to November 12th or a bad batch of dope, whichever comes first. Personally, I'm rooting for the dope.

Lol thanks PB and my thought's are the same about you my friend.

That's why, if you have a hunch that he's baiting me, you, or anyone else, in a thread where he's clearly just stirring the pot, it's best to just ignore every single thing that he posts.

I don't know, and this is strictly hypothetical, but say he was trying to bait someone in that Amuso/Crea thread, it's best to not even answer him. Of course, like I said, this is just a hypothetical. I just used that thread as an example.

I get it pal, done with that.

I hope matthew madonna lives forever

Do you see these guys on a regular basis on the neighborhood?

Not Joey. He lives in Scarsdale. And he almost never leaves home anymore. But yeah, he used to spend a lot of time in the Bronx. Not for years now, though.

it will go to state prison or federal?

State, Madonna got him a good lawyer and he got a good plea bargain if I remember correctly.

Madonna is 80 years old and has spent 30+ years in the can.

I don't think a good lawyer and good plea bargain is going to correct the fact that he fucked his whole life up.

Madonna is going to die in prison....the feds will see to that.

A good lawyer and plea bargain means nothing when the feds will keep him on their "installment plan."

Big deal position of power in the family but a huge chunk of his life inside.
