I see you put pep's name on there again lol. He'd be so excited to see that, it'd make his whole week, lettin everybody who'll listen know about it haha. His real name is Lucio Pepe, everyone just calls him Lou Pep. Surprised not to see Patsy Barone on there. Dukey Kenney, familiar name to me because Billy Barnoski has mentioned him many times, I know he doesn't like him though. Can't remember exactly how they'r connected to eachother but they were....

I wouldn't add barnoski, he's been in prison since 88 and wasn't on the streets very long before that either, he did a four year bid in the feds from 83-87 for the horse race fixing case so he's barely been on the streets for some of the most significant times

people also dont know that the beav and BC met in walpole in the 80'. cahill was doing a manslaughter armed robbery bid, and the beav was in there for that thing that happened when he was a kid he was working as a lifegaurd at a local pool and some guy came to th epool with a knife saying the beav couldnt selld rugs in medford or malden anymore.. the beav took the knife from the guy and stuck him with his own knife...something only local people would know... angelesco and giangrande were part of beavs crew once upon a itme... so was bobby rogers santasky.
Cahill was barrys sidekick.. but also worked in southie with billy brymer.

WHat about the Providence guys like Kevin Hanrahan and Gordon O'Brien. Both were heavy hitters in Providence NE and had ties to Frank Salemme.

Kevin Hanrahan was shot at many times before he got hit and Gordon O'Brien was a major figure in the Taunton area right? He weren't a guy to fuck around with, respected by all even if he had his enemies from what I hear.

On a related note, here's the latest chart I've seen for the New England family.


Boss:
Underboss:
Consigliere: Carmen "Fat Carmen/The Cheese Man" DiNunzio/55 (IP/1/27/2015)

Captains:
1. Joseph “Joe the Bishop” Achille Sr/77/Prov - ID as captain in 2005/2009 articles
2. Anthony DiNunzio/53/Bos (IP/12/21/2017) - said to have been a captain when indicted as acting boss in 2012
3. Edward "Eddie" Lato/66/Prov (IP/7/25/2019) - ID as captain in 2011 indictment

For the record, Anthony St. Laurent was identified as a captain in his 2009 press release. Mark Rosetti was identified as a captain in his 2010 indictment but it's unclear if he had any made guys under him. Matthew Guglielmetti was also identified as a captain in 1999 and 2006 articles. Needless to say, I have a feeling the status of the captains here needs updating. Boston has at least twice the membership the Providence faction has and so would probably have more captains up there. But we won't know until we know.

I heard on this board that DiNunzio's son is. I assume that Prochilo Sr. is considering that Prochilo Jr. is. I remember reading that Marquardo told someone a button wasn't worth the aggravation so I assume he isn't.

Curious whether this Squillante is related to the Squillante who was murdered in Malden a few years back.

Giving credit where it's due, the chart was compiled by Pogo. Most know him as the foremost "chart guy" on these forums.

Been lurking for awhile and figured i'd throw my 2 cents in on a subject i know a little about. The list by wiseguy/ivyleague is pretty good but incomplete. dont know much about the boston faction but i know frank imbruglia is dead and vinnie fed works as a local 25 Teamster.
Based on my own observations and bullshiting with connected guys in providence its my understanding that there are 17 made guys in providence and it breaks down like this: 2 guys who flipped deluca and castagna(who may or may not be dead- hes in WPP).Theres 7 guys in the can luigi,the saint,chippy,bobo,richie b,eddy lato(believed to be 1 of the 2 shooters of kevin hanrahan)and matty g. (matty had the biggest crew and was a MAJOR earner but when he gets out soon his crew is either in jail or scattered into the 4 corners).
Then there is 5 guys who could be considered "inactive" in 1 way or another. pat galea(know little about him cept he can be seen hanging in restaurants on the hill) jr(who only lends out money to those close to him) joe ruggerio (the mob bank so to speak.he owns 4 car dealerships and a shitton of property. a papergangster). Blackjack (think jr soprano toward the end-an old man getting a few envelopes from other old men)Blaise (owns a bunch of property including the spot across the street from the best pizza joint in RI and a major book. doesn't do time well.
That leaves 3 guys who could be considered active and believe me their nervous as hell and know there being watched. joe achille, vito and anthony p. They get envelopes from bakeries, book, etc and anthony is a power in local 251 Teamsters. Thats about it. My suggestion to anyone who thinks there is 25-30 made guys here is to go see the smokes on potters ave and beam up on more jumbo hubba.
Its over in Providence and it aint coming back. 10 years from now the mob will be a story kent county grandfathers tell their disinterested and bored grandkids.

Hi guys....just jumping in to clarify some info on Taunton and Gordon O'Brien. Taunton was always a LCN hotspot though very quitely. Due to it's central location and ease to Boston, Providence, Cape, etc. and all the highways going through it. It was also a major gambling spot with both the old Taunton Dog Track and nearby Raynham Dog Track. Go back decades and you had the WW2 POW Camp Myles Standish. The city's Italian population is very small, mainly Portugeese, Puerto Rican, Black and French and OC was always under the local Portugeese mobsters. Up until the mid '60's they reported to the North End but after a power struggle the "new guard" reported to Providence via a captain...for years the Saint. Ray Sr. was always smart to let the locals run things on their own and not interfere. In the past decade the influence of LCN has waned in Taunton with the old timers retiring, etc.. Not sure who runs things now as I no longer live there or am involved.

Gordon O'Brien was the scariest person I have ever met....period! And I have spent my life around OMG members! He NEVER EVER worked for Tim Mello. They were friends and at times partners. And Tim never had pull in Taunton. Gordon was sent to Walpole in '70 for rape and did about 23 years. While there he was the BOSS...and the stories of his having a pet German Shepard in his cell are true. Priror to Walpole..pre 1970..he made a rep as a enforcer and collector while still a teenager. After his release he worked alot with Tim Mello and Cadillac Frank both of whom he met in Walpole. What made him so important in the underworld was his connections and during the Boston/Providence war he was valued as a messenger for both sides. Although well connected he never joined up with any group and worked on his own. And he remained a very feared freelance enforcer. Some people say he was part of the Southie/Winter Hill scene but he never had much to do with them. Although Irish he stuck with the Italians and Portugeese.In early 2000 or so he got caught smuggling dope to the Islands and did about 8 more years in Walpole and died after his release. I knew him via my family my whole life and he was the real deal.

Limone was identified as acting boss at one point. But he was then charged in that gambling bust. If he had continued as the boss or acting boss, Anthony DiNunzio wouldn't have been the acting boss afterward. I could see Limone possibly being a member of the administration or a captain in Boston though.

First, thanks for the info. Do you know what year Imbruglia died? And you're saying Vinny Federico is no longer in prison?

By "Blaise" do you mean Blaise Marfeo? And who is Anthony P?

I pretty much agree with your overall assessment. For the record, the 25-30 made guys in Boston is a total figure. Not just guys who are active on the street.

Yeah I was taken back a bit by that one but Lic has posted some pretty good shit so I let it slide.

Great post, that's pretty much how I hear it, even men that were mean as fuck and were fucked with by nobody thought twice about fucking with O'Brien.
