Colombo Family War GJ Video (Need Help to ID Guys)

Here is a video about Colombo Family members being called into the Grand Jury.
You'll see my take on who I can ID in the video in the comment section.
I know you guys can point out a couple that I can't make.

Bonus question: Who is the guy in the red and black flannel, lapels pulled up next to Wild Bill? Nicky Black?

Also at 1:09 can anyone name that guy? Walking directly behind Cutolo so I'll assume he's on the Orena side.

Where's the Colombo experts at? Louie B. You're a Colombo expert going way back to when Roy DeMeo was with the Gallos. Surely you can point Ralph Scop Jr and Joey or a couple Russo's out. Help me out Louie

Nice vid !

At 0;26, it looks like Anthony "Chuckie" Russo.

You act like Im the one who said it not Ralph Scopo Sr who was actually there and lived it..You think he imagined where Roy was with the Colombos and Gallos.(Mind you persico was with the Gallos originally as well as well as Lolipop Carna,Bobby Boriello,Mike Rizzo etc) and then worked out a deal to get transferred because he thought he was gonna be murdered but wasnt...
And thats Mikey Spataro who loved smoked to smoke crack just like yourself you fucking wannabee yourwelcome
What else can be said except Colonel Reb is more of an Authority on The Life than Ralph Scopo Sr.....

It's well documented that Boriello, lollipops, and I'm assuming you mean Mike Rizzitiello or Mike Rizzi not Rizzo. And it's well documented that guys might start out in one family and get transferred into another. No one is disputing that. What's not documented I'd DeMeo starting out with the Gallos. Who was his goombata Armando Illiano?

A thousand percent correct Colonel..... Lol

He was around Mondo the Dwarf.... and the midget regime. Thats why you can't see him. they were sooooo small

Hahaha. I'm searching through Newspapers.com now. If I stumble across an old article from the 60s that links Roy to the Gallos I'm just gonna shoot myself in the head.

Don't worry. you're safe. That article you will NEVER see! Lol

I believe the one in the Red coat is Nicky Black, Larry Mazza saw him a few weeks later in the same coat and recognized him from this appearance right before he killed him he just said on Hootie's podcast

If only Nicky Black disguised himself from the Scarpa hit team like he did the media!

1:32 Mazza?

You guys are so much more knowledgeable on the life than Ralph Scopo Sr. I wonder who was more well versed in the life, Ralph Scopo, “NY Mafia” or “Colonel Reb”

NY Mafia and Colonel Reb........... hahahahahaha!

I thought Lisa & Co.(NY Mafia) was here 2 give us knowledge & insight...not become the oppostion & start flareups....this site is going is going nowhere w/ this kind of flagrant bullshit...maybe I should believe what others say & ignore my old friends @ NY MAFIA...& I said MAYBE...jury still deliberating..WTF.

Lighten up bro. Breaking Balls is part of life.

From what I detect & feel...Colonel lReb is always on the money about his posts...he is insightful , knowledgeable..& does not try 2 be a fanboy....leave the guy alone 4 Christ's sake...if u need 2 critique someone...look in the fuckin' mirror....my old man & his off- hour boss who dictated his every union move & Keebler Cookie Co... Bruno would NOT like the behavement on this site ...maybe throw some of u off the Tacony- Palmyra bridge..

I don't think that's Mazza. I could be wrong. I thought it might be one of the Younger Russo's. Can anybody identify the guy at 1:32?

But they are fuckin' ur good name up bro.......I , @ least try 2 stand up 4 my brethern....I respect all u post & then some...don't let some alien site come in here & de-grade u/...I like NYMAFIA also ..but they r takin ' over the joint...watch & be wary my friend..

NY Mafia was getting on the joke.
I think you misread their post

Lisa (me) started a new site - Mob News Report. We made an announcement a couple of weeks ago. NY Mafia is the Other Guy. Two separate entities. Not connected. Just to be clear. I haven't been involved in any of these conversations on this board for quite some time. But I don't think NYMafia is taking over the joint. Just my observation.

Just to clarify, NYMafia wasn't saying anything bad about me. They were joking along about Roy DeMeo being in the Gallo crew and Hoodlum misinterpreted it that NYMafia was talking bad about me. We were actually goofing on Louie B. The posts above will confirm that. I don't know how Hoodlum misconstrued that.

That being said I at 1:14 -1:15 I'll admit I am wrong about it being tommy shots. Ears look too old and saggy to be 39 years old. Anybody got an idea? There's about 5 guys I haven't named. 2 guys are obvious for mob buffs to recognize I just left them out to see who can line them up. The other 3 hide their face or I don't recognize from mug shots or pictures.

I thought the same but I just saw a Daily News article from December 17th 1991 showing a picture of the guy coming out of the Courthouse and listing his name and stating that and I quote "Frank Taormina(hat) leaves Grand Jury room at Brooklyn Supreme Court yesterday" I've been researching the mob for 25 years and still don't know 60 percent of the shit.

The only other results I get for Frank Taormina are a cop and politician. So maybe the media got a mixup in the name. I will research further.

Was I right about Chuckie Russo ?

I watched the video, but its dark and they go by so quickly that it's hard to see. Also many have their coats up, hats and heads turned etc.

But I do see 2 particular guys 1000%, and that's Pasquale (Fat Patty) Catalano and Vincent (Schwartzie) Cascio walk by. Schwartzie is the short guy with grey hair and a sharp nose who is looking straight ahead, and Patty turns his body away but you can see its him. He a very heavy set guy but doesn't look so in the pic. And of course there's Billy Cutolo.

Thank you for that clarification Colonel. Lol

WTF are you even talking about? Who's starting what? You'd better read (and properly digest) ALL the posts and understand them correctly before you say things like that!

I watched this video again with sound, on a bigger screen. I now have more guys for you ok Colonel.

Little Vic Orena, Teddy Persico, and Benny Aloi (in that order, L to R) are exiting the Limo in tuxedos in route to a wedding.

the fellow in the black leather jacket, and brown cap, in the hallway is Alphonse (Funzi D) D'Ambrosio

Vincent (Schwartzie) Cascio is wearing the brown leather jacket & (brown checkered sweater). He is short and has grey hair.

Standing next to Schwartzie is Pasquale (Fat Patty) Catalano. He is wearing a black leather waist length jacket with his back toward the camera, and they are in the corner with Schwartzie smoking a cigarette.

As Louie Malpeso (in shades) is walking through the hallway. The older guy walking next to him is Joseph (Joe Notch) Iannaci

Everybody else is blurred or covered. The only other 'possible' guy is Patty Amato (with jet black toupe) walking into the courthouse up the steps (but it may NOT be him). The guy looks a bit short for Patty, who was almost 6' and built big

I had a hunch it was Funzi D. All I had was an old mugshot from the 50s. Been scouring the photo section for 5 days.

Thanks NY Mafia. What about the 1:09 or 1:27 next to schwartzie in the blue jacket? Or the younger guy at 1:32. This looks like only guys from the Orena faction.

Looks like frankie notch at 1:10 walking behind wild bill and someone said Tommy Dono at 0:26.

Alright..I apologize & misread(misunderstood) what was going on.

No worries Hoodlum. We all make mistakes on occasion. We're good my man!

I 'said it it b4 & i will say it again ...I always liked yous guys...NY Mafia.....

Great piece my friend ...never saw that 1 b 4 ....I'm just tryin 2 figure out who is who?...!......
