I’m from London, so seriously out the loop on a lot of this stuff so apologies in advance if there are dumb/obvious questions here…

First question is; anyone know if all/any the following guys active and on the street, and if so are they still likely to be capos. I can’t find much recent information on them:
Joseph Juliano
Salvatore Franco
Augustus Sclafani
Louis Mastrangelo

Second question is; does anyone know what happened to the crews of the following when they went to jail:
Daniel Marino
Louis Vallario
Anthony Ciccone
Nicholas Corozzo
I’m assuming James Dellaratta is running one of these crews? I see he’s listed as an acting capo on the charts.

Third question is; Have the Gambino’s shut down operations in Florida?

Fourth and final question is; what’s going on with Jackie the Nose? Is he seen to be active? A capo? I guess he’s pretty old and his star seems to fallen, so is he out?

Basically, I’m really interested in the Gambinos, particularly the current set up but I’ve got really limited info. If anyone can help it would be really appreciated... :-)

Nicky Corozzo won't be released until a few years. But, people like him don't change. He'll be back on the streets of Queens and Brooklyn in no time. I'm sure that Nicky still has a crew, he had many people working under him so he'll have an unknown successor. Even if his crew is pretty defunct, he'll come back and reform it. Nicky likes the feeling of power, he doesn't like being controlled. He enjoys being his own boss.

first.sonny [juliano] is still a skip,he was a bath beach guy.he came up close to pope and frank d.he was made skipper because frank vouched for him.his guys are staten island or long islanders for most part.but his club is still active on cropsey.sal is close to the blonde and the good looking guy.he has construction business,and trucks.wont go into more detail on that. gus was joe butchs favorite,gus runs his crew,vinny got out of line to the kid.cant blame him.lol. lou is a ozone park guy.he comes from 'wagons' crew.

I think most of the second question is public record.when danny went in,johnny g.stepped up. when the little guy went in he had lenny,blaise,jimmy,and crazy ernie.lol. jimmy just caught a pinch from exposing himself to skins.so now its len and ernie.both are on borrowed time.one of those canarsie kids just went bad.he was dealing on the sneak.fat lous crew is watched by someone else,but that 'hits close to home' so i wont andwer that.sonnys main guy is his nephew bill.

no nobody will ever just 'shut down' in florida.

jack is still a skip.still doing 'his thing'.lol. he does what hes told,he has enough respect to keep his crew from being 'poached'.he will never be anything more.not while the old man calls the shots.

if you dont know those names,try google.it works for ivy league.hoPe i helped.

now im sure you are not andy.lol.

Gamms, are we talking about Castellano and Frankie Dapolito here?

Man, this code talking is killing me! :-)

Thanks guys this is really great. The codes killing me too, but I think I've worked most.:-) And I like working for my info anyway!!

Hairy, I think the Pope and frank d are paul castellano and Frank DeCicco. i could easily be wrong though.

The one I'm really stuck on crazy ernie...

Decoded, I think these guys are:

Pope=Paul Castellano
Frank D = Frank DeCicco
The Blonde = Joseph Giordano
Good looking guy = John Gotti
Joe Butch = Joseph Corrao
Wagons = Carmine Fatico
Johnny G = John Gambino
Lenny = Leonard DiMaria
Blaize = Blaize Corrozzo
Jimmy = James Dellaratta
Crazy Ernie = ?????
Fat Lou = Louis Vallario
Sonny = Joseph Juliano
Jack = Jackie D’Amico

hope you dont mind me posting those names gamms.

just realised it might have appeared rude. defintely wasn't meant that way, your posts here are some of the best

Johnny G is John Gammarano

pope dallessio.and 'handsome guy' is 'blondes' brother.ernie is lennys son.[grillo].

Gamms
Wasnt Grillo's wife very friendly with the Polish Priest? The one with blue eyes?

Uhm, ya think?

Cost him a few bucks and the big seat?

Jesus Christ cant you jus say names!?

Wasnt his wife the one who was "friendly" with Gotti?

Daughter! Shannon

Lou Vallario and Sonny Ciccone both get out this year. Dan Marino and Louis Mastrangelo get out the following year. It's just a rotating door. Anyone know who's running the Blonde's crew since he got indicted for extortion?

It turns out Sal Franco, if I'm not mistaken, was never a captain. He may have just been acting captain for his uncle (Joe Arcuri) for a time.

Louis DeVito seems to now be the captain of Lou Vallario's crew.

James Dellaratta is acting captain for Nick Corozzo's crew.

Who is this Frank, Gamms? It can´t be Frankie DeCicco because he was dead by 1986 and Juliano wasn´t a captain at that time.

I have never understood how the 5 families operate in Florida. I don't know what parts of Tampa and Southern Florida they operate and what their major operations are. I mean it's just sort of weird there's no recruiting pool, no roots down there etc… like it seems pretty hard to shake down a union if you're from outta town. I'd like to learn more about Cosa Nostra in Florida; I'm fairly ignorant of their operations..

The NY families operate mainly in the Miami/South Florida area. Florida has always been a vacation spot for people from the Northeast, including mobsters. It seems that as the Trafficante family's influence began to fade, the NY guys didn't really need to check with Santo in order to operate down there. You can read first hand accounts from guys like Joe Dogs Iannuzzi, George Freselone, etc. Mob guys have been running scams down there for years. They're also into the nightclub scene. Their gambling networks extend down there. Drugs, of course. The Genovese family had a few Miami ILA locals. The Gambinos moved in on the valet business. And so on.

Is the "old man" Cefalu?

Also - (1) How wealthy is Carmine and (2) Is Patsy still at all active?

If u mean Carmine Sciandra.... Hes wealthy as fuck... He lives up on Todt Hill in SI. So does his bro Sal, whos a partner in the Top Tomato chain. Both have million dollar homes. Carmines is huge... Gated driveway, house overlooks the east shore of the island. Hes not overtly flashy, just he likes nice shit.. He owns a bunch of racing boats. The kind that goes for a quarter mil used... So im assuming hes pretty well off.

What was the name of the Supermarkets that Patsy Conte used to own? Anyone remember?

Key food?

I mean Conte is so old that I just don't see how he could have a crew. That being said, I have a theory about some of these older Capos - - - For the ones that are healthy and have their wits about them (i.e. not people like Cutaia), there mere existence and reputation is enough. They probably have younger guys serving as the day-to-day capos of their crews. For example, it would still be "The Conte Crew" - which is enough to instill fear and respect in the eyes of most - but he is essentially a figurehead at this point.

I don't know for sure, but I am under the impression that the situation in Carroll Gardens with Punchy and Kid Blast is exactly the same. Perhaps even more so with those guys due to their panache.

There was also this incredibly fun story back in the day: http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news...rticle-1.791719

The conte crew is the cefalu crew now....but i see what ur saying.

Key Food, thats it. Thanks Skinny, i just couldn't remember the name.

Is Conte still alive? I haven't heard anything on him since he was released in 03 or 04. I know the Italians wanted him for some shit over there but i don't think he was ever extradited after his release.

Dont they have banks in switzerland? Lmao.... Id love to visit that area one day. I have family from the city Como. That country is beautiful....
