Honestly, dude, there is no way that any crime family is hiding thirty made members from the FBI nowadays. If you came on to a site saying you had inside information on one or two guys who "may" be made in the Bufalino Family since Big Bill took over then it could be seen as somewhat believable, but thirty? Just face the facts, this family is dead...outside of Philly, Jersey, New England, Chicago, Detroit and of course NY there isn't much left as far as LCN is concerned (family wise, of course there are crews from NY in Florida).

Any other family you're going to talk about is going to be at max maybe fifteen members, possibly as little as five or six with Pittsburgh and New Orleans.

I'm not so sure. They have about 9 or 10 made guys left. Some in prison. Some inactive. They could be compared to what's left in Tampa or Los Angeles, I suppose.

really? I wasn't aware it had gotten that bad, everything I had read put me under the impression that Joe Iacobacci had made some new guys and had actually strengthened the family. I could be wrong however. I thought they were stronger than Tampa and LA.

Iacobacci is semi-retired. There is no longer a formally structured or viable family there. Here is a list of known members from a couple years ago. The ages would be a little older now and a few of them might have died. One or two more are in prison if I remember right.

1. Ralph "Bosie" Bucci/59
2. William "Billy" DeNova/68
3. William "Billy D" Dileno/72
4. Joseph Gallo/71
5. Joseph "Joe Loose" Iacobacci/59
6. John Iorillo/64
7. Ronald Lucarelli Jr/51
8. Nicholas "Nick" Nardi/82
9. John Oliverio/56
10. Russell Papalardo/67
11. Peter "Petey Boy" Sanzo/74
12. Anthony Velotta/67

I thought Iacobacci was just retired, didn't know it was only semi-retirement. Papalardo took over as "boss" correct? Do you have any idea how many of those guys (aside from Papalardo) were active when that list was created?

There really isn't much left for Papalardo to take over. Nothing in terms of a formally structured, viable family anyway. That list is only from a year or two ago and there were one or two guys that were in prison. Beyond that, I don't know how many are active at this point. Aside from a corruption probe that included Papalardo and some others in 2008, you have to go back to the late 1990's and early 2000's for any cases involving them.

They maintain strong ties with the other Mafia families. There is not much information about the Bufalino crime family, very few convictions or indictments. The Bufalino Family seems to have the lowest profile of all the Mafia families, which gives it a very strong advantage over the other families. The Bufalino Family pretty much owns all of Scranton.


Not sure where you got your info, but It's not at all right. The only Bufalino made guys left are William "Big Billy" D'Elia (b. 1946), Michael Insalaco (b. 1940), Albert Scalleat and Michael "Hoppy" Carsia. Albert is the brother of Philly mobster, Joe Scalleat. This info comes from recent news paper articles I have.
