Its a fact that he was made when the books was first opened . My source are the 90 year old men in the neighborhood who knows and dont do the gossip based on rumors. Nick Giso was made at that time and few others like Russo, and Sonny Boy Rizzo, Pryce and few Providence guys. I have no documentation if thats what your talking about but these old men they know and was really involved themselves and they dont tell me much at all but out of respect of my grandfather/father uncle and my surname i am priveleged to be around these men and once in a while get a hidden gem of knowledge and thats one of em

the guy in providence1994 the zip who killed the 2 guys in some social club, the hockey club or some shit .cant remember his name they asked him a made guy to leave the club he ended up shooting one guy in the shitter the other at the card table . he ended up being crazy, broke down crying on the stand the feds had no use for him he told some jury in 1977 jr drove him and some other guys from providence to gerrys secret room in that building on prince street were there were hidden walls a fernace ,tables, phones, and they burn sports receits. his name was nino he was a drunk he was made by Gerry and his brothers ray sr wasn't there probably cause of parole. and the pic of Gerry and limone in nyc is just them walking down some ave its in the file saying they were going to see fat tony about gambling shit. any one every read that part of underboss were jerrys talking to larry b about when ray sr brought him rays young friend to meet vito Genovese in little italy, im guessing 57 58 and ray said to jerry always send our friend a peace. jerry was still steaming 25yrs later about kicking up the money. jerry must have been in his mid 30tys sitting with Genovese. 36 37. funny guy on those tapes was a real money maker. real estate dons of boston. maybe in the 50tys limone was a low guy but in the mid 60tys he was on the move. he was 35 when he got life. think baby shacks also was made in the late 50tys ray took over in 54 before vito or carlo or angelo Bruno became bosses. so the national commiss approved him. I read he really like gerrys older brother nicolo better then any or the brothers he was his consign in the 70tys henry t was his under I believe till he got life never really now when Gerry officialy took over as underboss maybe mid 70tys. there a tape of frank a telling someone I 1980 nicky b acting boss right now cause ray was sick.

is the nino guy still in jail for that double murder? he should be the feds had no use for him. any rhode island people know?

I take your word for it...FYI...My two uncles and grandfather who are now deceased were involved in the region I grew up in, hence my interest in the topic. In most cases, the old timers are spot on.

There is one thing I never undestood about the frame-up of Limone and others: why did they falsely name Tameleo as the one who ordered the Deegan murder, when they could say it was Patriarca who sanctioned it (which was true)? With Patriarca convicted for murder they would have made more headlines than with Tameleo convicted.

Antonio Cucinotta but he was known and called Nino and he is out in WP for years now.. what do you mean made by jerry and his bros ??? you mean like they did the initation or was proposed by them ?? Because he was proposed by the Providence guys Ray sr brother from what i know...in the 50's Limone was a known figuree didnt have that much pull but he made his bones for jerry on this guy from everett with john anselmo and micheal rocke and he was made in the first book that was reopened.. And yes Ray sr liked donato and nicolo more than the rest of the brothers Nicolo was the oldest and more smarter a balance between gerry smarts and donato's fierceness ...

Thats because temeleo was known to be in Boston/revere not ray sr ...everyone went to providence to talk to Ray sr and it was a selected few if you got called down or waallowed to go...Temeleo was always in Boston over looking things collecting giving orders and pretty much just supervising the area for Ray sr so it was easier to blame a man who is frequently around oppose a man who if ever come up to Boston never mind is seen by the gangsters which is only a selected few that even sees him at all so it was more convincing and realistic to blame Temeleo

Ya the guy nino testified at some type of hearing said he was made in Boston by jerry a and I'm guessing his brothers in 1977 Jr patriarca and a group of other proposed guys were in the car driven up to boston from rhode. Island he said ray sr wasn't there. He talk about the Luna union they control in Rhode island to this day baby shacks convicted nephew manslaughtering some type of leader.

Speaking of old timers, I heard a story a long time ago that Spucky made his bones with JR Russo out west on the Barboza hit. Spucky is one of those interesting figures in NE LCN that has been around as long as anyone but no one talks about him. I bet he's seen it all.

He is old school thats for sure very viscous business savy. He def was there he def is from j.russo regime. He keeps quiet real close with gambale, biago, ferrara, carrozza,simone people of that prestige. He controls eastie/revere and is very respected as respected as they come

With Richie the Pig? Richie isn't made...he was a sidekick of Angioplasty Anthony, correct? Why do you think Limone supported Fat boy for the big chair? If Limone keeps to himself and is part of that "old school" mentality, I'd say he may need to be checked out for senility. Who in their right mind would support that fat, arrogant loud mouth? Limone and DiNunzio doesn't make sense.

Or are you speaking of Spucky? Spagnolo is respected, maybe the most respected guy left...if not, he's at least the most active and capable.

When is Matt Guglilemetti out?

Should be relatively soon...but seriously, what is he going to lead? There's nothing left of any significance in Providence...one of their main sources of income were the strip clubs and the Feds are on to that scheme. There are no crews left, Rhode Island unemployment is high and there are plenty of casinos in the region, so even illegal gambling income will be severely reduced. Providence died when the old man stepped down and subsequently got indicted.

This family is eerily similar to Cleveland...and it will continue to be reduced to some younger made guys who have no leadership qualities and are doing their own thing...like 16 of the original 24 mafia families who are now defunct. Boston is in better shape than Providence, but even Boston is a shell of what they once were. Unless they go on a heavy recruiting campaign or bring over some Italians from the other side, which New England never really had any relationship with the Sicilian, Calabrian or Neapolitan mafia families, attrition will continue and the family will not be a "family" in the traditional sense. There are no young guys who are capable of being boss...that was evident when the family chose Fat Anthony as boss in which he demonstrated that he is a spaccone and a bumbling idiot incapable of garnering the respect of his underlings.

Is't Limone a millionaire and older why would he go back to that after spending all that time in prison. You think he would throw in the towel and retire. Having all that time to think about things and the future and present LCN he must be downright delusional. A legend in his own mind. A small mind, a narrow mind.

One gambale is made long ago buddy. You swear you know but dont know a damn thing ,,, Providence always had and will always have a 100 wiseguys that you have no idea about. They have more than the strip clubs, the casino always been around and it never slowed things down before....they have unions, gambling, sports betting, the new bedford/fall river/taunton area, they have the strip clubs and many more schemes thats not known....Second always was a partnership with sicily... how do you think Biago came over and vito deluca ??? old boss philip buccola was the liason between all that . he sent Biago over here to get away from a crazy war goin on in sicily and biago is one of few wiseguys made here and in sicily ever and so is vito deluca and there is no sicilian connection !!! and in the early years of 1930's,40's,50's they was all over boston, springfield, and providence like simonelli,americo bucci, theodore fuccilo, armonte and cullicio so def was a connection. And if providence is dead why have four or five capo's for what 5 soldiers dont make sense at all. There is moriarty, milisi, arty spinola, Achilles, sparo, ruggerio, matty jr, peri je , dennis cappiccilo, cappola jr, souza all providence all active guys some made so you think you know but frankly jcb the more you speak the more you prove you have no idea at all.

You listed a track sheet from like, 2000 to recent time, of all the members/associates that been arrested indicted whatever.. if you can count go count you listed over 200 members/assocaites during that span of 13 years and of today's date there is a estimate of 60-70 members between boston and providence... cities of 700k people combined. Anyone if thats a family in disray show me a rising family because thats saids that a family thats super active. After one indictment of 30 or so people the family/associates should be disfunctional right??? No they are loaded with members/assocaites to keep things going and staying as active as any family . Im going to post that particular list and you be the judge

This list was compiled over on real deal by "Wiseguy." As you could see, he put a lot of work into this to show "activity" as well as waning power:

hey i added those numbers up and total is 340 now that is a family thats decimated LOL. Im not saying they are as strong as their heyday or when ray sr ran it but for current day and age with technology, publicity and rats like deluca,rosetti and salemme man they are consistently being arrested with no signs of decline and still active at a alarming stature. Now only a strong family can do that. and they are still making guys like Micheal Prochillo, Billy Angelesco, Alby Folcarelli,Junior Pingaro,Paterno, Louie Dinunzio, Louis & Greg Costa, Tommy Iafrate, Ray Jenkins, Dom Serino, floramo jr, corrazzo's kids as well as lepore's kid ...like cris carter saids on espn C'MON MAN

Never mind the providence shit thats gets in depth that i have no clue about This is not fbi files or books or what no crooked DA saids...This is my street knowledge, interactions, connection eyes and ears straight from the north end. The only thing thats true is limone allowing stupid loud mouth dinunzio to hold the helm.. that must be cause nobody wanted the aggravation and he is a cocky loudmouth but we see the results but besides that i spoke the truth/peace ...

Didnt read whole thing but did you say 340??

those are alot of recent arrest

seems like somebody is giving information

cook county you are right someone is saying something but its not slowing things down as we see. And extortion yes 340 count it yourself it wont take long

Hey JoeRusso,

Now you claim the DA or the U.S. Attorney is crooked? That list provided by Ivy League demonstrated "activity" in those years. In "most" of those cites, many of the members and associates were duplicated in the different charges. If you believe that Providence has 100 wiseguys, you're delusional. The Patriarca Crime Family had 100 members at their peak. You say the DA and the U.S. Attorney, the FBI, the State Police are all corrupt. Like I said before, there was corruption with a "small number" of FBI Agents which was 15 years ago. If you don't think that the FBI director in Washington D.C. immediately sent his most trusted agents with squeaky clean records for damage control and for public relations, then you are narrow minded and can't understand how things are done. To say that the entire law enforcement community and upper echelon members of the U.S. Attorney's office is crooked, then you have absolutely no credibility. While your "street knowledge" is appreciated, you have absolutely no leg to stand on from a credibility standpoint. Nobody on this site knows who you are, so how is anybody to believe what you are spewing?

I'll go our on a limb and say that "maybe" you have "some" street knowledge...but to say that the Patriarca Crime Family has 100 members in Providence that nobody knows about is ludicrous when at their peak that family had a total of 100. If what you say is true, then the entire FBI office in Boston/Providence, the US Attorney's office in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and the state police in RI and MA are lying. You got a lot of balls saying something so asinine. The Bonanno and Colombo Family have less than 100 members...so the Patriarca's aren't even close! You may know a few wiseguys from the neighborhood...good for you...Anthony Gambale is not made, but Richie is and I confirmed that with a high ranking law enforcement official. I'm not a cop or even a fan of the cops as I have met and known "plenty" of wiseguys from the region I grew up in...who cares? If you're in the "know" then you shouldn't be posting about any of these guys in your neighborhood...where I come from, they call that duplicitous and back stabbing. At least the families I post about are defunct and all the guys are dead...you're posting about guys on the street who you "admire." Do you admire criminals? Liars? Thieves? Murderers? Extortionists? IF you do, then its people like you that have no place in normal society. I'm done with this back forth bullshit with a guy living near the north end...Boston is an Irish town, always has been, always will be. One of the weaker mafia factions in the country compared to many other cities. Providence is where the true power base was in Patriarca's heyday, as any boss from Boston was a lackluster, clusterfuck who was either indicted, an informant or just plain stupid. The true LCN bosses in New England who are held in high regards with other mob families were from Providence...PERIOD!

A wiseman and a friend once told me: Never get into a pissing match with a skunk...so true.

Everyone on here admires criminality to some degree or you wouldn't be posting here.

Correction...everybody admires to allure of a secret society and the underworld...at the end of the day, "most" of these guys are scumbags and leeches on society

i don't think he said 100 made members just 100 guys out on the street earning money that eventually gets kicked up.

No your delusional, I know providence capability i know real street guys who you know. Hey i never said 100 made guys but 100 guys italians/sicilians like me who is connected all the way either going to be made or choose not to be made but they are guys thats active and well known in the criminal world with high prestige. See jcb you trust the feds, DA, and law enforcement too much you see. why are they right ? They might have informants and rats but they are not in the everyday, in and out routine of things....Rossetti was a long time rat correct... why is not the whole east boston/revere that whole area even north end in disray?? all that time he was informant a big hard crippling indictment shouldve been came down right. Deluca as well all he gave up was the strip club scheme and even that the feds was already on too it before he starting ratting. See i dont live close to North end i was born and raised in and still live in north end and not one guy i mentiond is not known so im not doing nothing but repeating names thats known and didnt expose none of their illegal/legal activities, secret hangouts or socail clubs, or thier assocaites. Your a hypocrite, you say richie is not made now you said he is after i told you he is but you say you confirmed it with a high ranking law official but its his brother thats not made CMON MAN...Hey my father, uncle respected, made, i never mentiond their name my grandfather was a underboss/consgliere is hardly mentioned or even known about all from boston north end. Boston was a irish town not its multicultural my friend. Providence was stronger with soldiers you never seen or heard of and to an extent it still like that but Boston is always and will always be the backbone. But what do you know you have to ask the crrupted fbi, staties, or DA and what the fuck do they know.. they rely on people like rossetti and you see how far they got with that guy and his information.. his father ralphie is spinning his grave but hey im just from the streets of north end, come from a made family, know most guys that mentioned and is real informative but what do i know huh. The more you talk it proves more and more you really dont know a damn thing so stop speaking so much... I might be a skunk but a skunk who speaks the truth and knows not relying on some fbi, or da, or statie who probably is in debt from his last bet so seriously CMON MAN

the more you TRY to prove what not happening and the disray the more i can prove the family is def in affirmative aCtion... IDk how many members the colombos or bonnano's have its not my business but what i do know is who is active who is not who is made who is not, If things are hot if things are cool and i know this 40-50 guys in boston made FACT with the other 20-30 in providence thats a assumption of 60-80 guys but me personally i think its 60 something members. In its heyday it was well over 100. So compare and contrast is not a great comparison method to make your point IMO

One could never reason with a street guy...narrow minded, neighborhood guy who only knows what a bunch of old men and wannabees chirp about on the corner. I get it, you hate law enforcement..but they are WINNING the war on organized crime. 24 original mafia families and 8 exist today, with Philly, NJ and New England on the brink of extinction as far as "traditional mafia structure" is concerned. I got no beef with you, but I strongly disagree with most of your comments. Agreed to disagree.

They might have been winning the war against crime but traditional structure is a boss underboss consgliere capo's soldiers and asscoiates and as far as numbers go theres no lack in numbers for anyone to step in. but hey you might as well become a spokesperson for law enforcement and the stoolie's and i know what i see buddy not gossip we dont live based on gossip : agree to disagree
