Genovese Family 2017 Leadership

So I think we all agree that Barney is the definite boss. Ive read from Capeci that Petey Red DiChiara is either the street boss or the underboss.. Assuming for arguments sake that hes the Street Boss....Does anyone have any educated guesses/speculation as to who the Underboss, Consigliere, and top NJ and NY capos are currently?

The last bs chart from five families.com has Benny Eggs as UB but thats highly unlikely seeing as hes pushing 95, but given Sonny Franzese ya never know...my pure speculation is Danny Leo is either UB or Consig.. senior capo who was at one time acting boss. Im gonna guess John Barbato is possibly in tbe admin too(although im not entirely sure hes alive lol).. again just a total guess, but he was a senior very powerful capo for a while.

Id also throw Allie Shades or maybe his kid in as possible admin. Thats entirely based on PB in the past saying him and his kid had a very low key strong crew..but idk how true that is or even if he was referring to Allie Shades or Baby Shades

Where do you guys think Pepe LaScala , Tommy Ficarotta, and Joe Denten jr fall into place? Anyone think theyre in the administration or just powerful skippers? Would any of these 3 be considered the top NY skipper for the Genovese?... also Since Patsy Parrello is doin 5 years and had a very strong crew, who do you guys thinks steps up to be acting capo of his crew?

As far as NJ goes, my educated guess is Ninny Bruschi and Silvio DeVita are the two top skippers in NJ not only in the Genovese familty, but all 5 families that have any NJ crews...thats purely based on talking to knowledgeable Jersey guys both on here and in private that say both of these guys have very large gambling and shylockin crews and both have flown relatively under the radar in terms of LE

Curious to hear what all the knowledgeable posters on here have to say? Again these are just guesses, im by no means trying to insinuate i have any insight just sparking debate...any insight as always is appreciated fellas!


Side note- Furio please dont post a crew list or some fuckin chart from the web or some mafia wiki site theyre all mostly bullshit.. and im askin for the guys on here that know way more than me to give their best guesses or inside knowledge, im well aware especially with the Genovese no one knows for sure..

Great thread. Hope others have insight. I think we can all agree Benny Eggs is too old to be UB except in name only.

I love that you call out Furio before he posts something from Black Hand. Bahahahahaha! I'm a Furio fan!

Blackhand forum has threatened me with death if I'll publish something again on gangsterbb, so the only thing I can say is do you know that Ficarotta means in english broken [BadWord] ?

All I know is every time there's a Genovese bust, there's millions of dollars involved. When people say "the mob is done", I tell them to google this family.

You would swear the turds on that site come up with their own lists through their own sources and don't liberally purge from other people.

Why do they care so much what someone posts on here anyway.

Bunch of batty boys..

We love you Furio!

Good thread, Mikey. I always found the Genovese to be much less salacious to read about than Philly, Lucchese, Colombo or Gambino. They're like the Oprah to their Maury Povich. But that's why they are held in greater esteem than those borgatas I suppose.

What..ur not going 2 a word war w/ Oak???Peace is amongst u two?? AMAZING!...luv it.

I also like Furio's posts,given that u have 2 read twice 2 understand that english is not is 1rst language... he is in the know & also he is in the heart of the origins that we all speak of..

This was time ago. Now as I write used the blackhand forum chart that are more accurate of some that was posted here (included the mine) but as I write they asked me to don't post here. So I'm sorry on BH forum there a complete list of the genovese administration included all the capos.

Are they doing this to spite me?

Fine. I'll just get someone to PM me the speculative lists they plagiarized off someone else.

No skin off my back!

We havin a site war? Love it!

This family is really just too secretive for even basic speculation even and especially with 300 or so made members. Imagine if there was some unknown wiseguy like Victor Colleti running things..Heh

I have no idea who is in the Genovese leadership beyond Barney and Petey Red, but just to further reinforce that it's not likely Benny Eggs, Capeci reported that he was practically blind.

And that was over 10 years ago.

I want to put in a vote for Furio from Naples. I love his posts on here. #teamfurio

Tell anyone who has a problem with Furio that they got a bee on their hat.

Exatcly. The thread starter named a bunch of longtime, well known names, but who really knew about Petey Red before he started running things for Bellomo? There's probably a dozen unknown guys that could be in Bellomo's inner circle.

Benny Eggs hasn't been UB for many years.

"Mickey Dimino" Generoso and Lawrence Dentico both shared the UB position since at least 2004. I don't have any guesses who is the UB now.

New Jersey has always had one of the top positions in the family. I say it is a toss up between Bruschi and LaScala. Devita would have been a good choice, the fact is he is restricted from taking part in certain deals, and is on the radar. Depiro became a New Jersey skipper officially.

Pepe Lascala has Alzheimer. he is not active.

Would barney put his trust in a 35 yr old to run the family like when gigante was indicted and made barney the street boss. Crazy barney was made in 1977 same yr as gotti gravano except he was like 20yrs old. When he became acting boss in 1990 he had been a soldier for a while and a capo. But just from reading the site theres alot of old guys. Capecis wrote a article a few weeks ago about sammy meatballs he said that he was placed on the shelf but people still attended the funeral. The feds must be so hot for this guy after they took down crea an them. But the gambino family and whoever is boss hasnt had a big indictment in over 5yrs. That means the bosses have been getting fat envelopes for awhile.
