Been arguing with some people on sites and forums about this story that the decavalcante family have rebuilt so much they r bigger than the colombos now , I've asked these people to name the 7 captains but as usual with these stories nobody can name them because they don't exist , I would be grateful if someone can name these elusive captains as I can only name 3 , 4 at best , but as usual with these stories it must be true because they have sources but can't name them or the captains ??

If they can't produce any names (either the captains themselves or the sources) why bother arguing with them.

Your right sonny , I don't know where people get this shit or bother putting it out there , think I'm just getting old and argumentative like PB ha

Some people need to believe that their local mob is still powerful in much the same way that an eight year old needs to believe in Santa Claus. The only difference is, an eight year old will eventually grow up. These dolts won't. Don't waste your breath, Dom.

The same people said George borgesi was the Philly boss and aged dominic cefalu by 10 years , I don't know why I bother

Oh, don't tell me your wasting your time with that nitwit. The guy has no credibility. The problem is, he has no shame either.

But you don't listen either. How many times have I told you who's genuine and who isn't on these sites? If you'll just limit yourself to logical debates you'll have much less stress in your life. Don't engage these jerks.

Point noted PB , I don't need this stress , I would love them to just prove me wrong but they can't , I'm not saying I know everything but I defo know more than these idiots , to say the decavs have doubled in size in the last 10 years is ludicrous . Apparently they have been making guys from Brooklyn , I could have swore the New York families banned them from making guys from New York ?? But maybe now the decavs run the American mob and the commission they can do what they want now

Dom buddy have a drink and don't let it get to you pal.

Thanks scalish, think I will do pal

I will join you my friend.

Dom, you were drinking at 8 in the morning?

Let me take a crack at it for the sake of discussion:
1. Louis salvo
2. Salvatore timpano
3. Girolamo palermo
Captains up for retrial???
4. Giuseppe Schifilliti
5. Philip abramo
Due for promotions???
6. gregory rago
7. Bernard Nicasio
8. Anthony mannarino
9. What's the rank of the boss 2 sons??? It's hard for me to believe that thier still soldiers
If thier making new guys these captains is the way to go

Timpani and Palermo died last year , abramo and schifitti r in prison .

Is rago not in the same crew as newly promoted capo louis consalvo , Joey merlo and frank aiosa and joe giacobbe r captains

same with crazies sayin that buffalo/milwuakee/nola/etc have a viable, structured, low-key, secretive and insulated family

pathetic

I thought the Milwaukee family were just as big as the genovese

Well I tooked a stab at it

What's the rank of riggi's son's?

My favorite was the NOLA mob was making a big comeback because two veteran nitwits got caught driving around in a souped up Econoline with gun portals. More than likely that the entire NOLA organized crime group can fit inside that van...

They dont have 7 Captains, or crews and the 70 members number is inflated by at lest 30 according to many. That damn Barzini lol. He also claims the Decalvacante's still operate and frequent a social club in NY. Despite there being cameras on literally every street corner out here and no photos of these Italian guys frewuenting these Social Clubs have come to surface.

Couldn't agree more Sinatra

my guess

5 years from now they will be dissolved into the westside or lukes and there will be no Decalwhatevers.

They're best buddies apparently and both were in the Abramo crew, which Consalvo now has so yeah Rago will be is under him.

Only heard through that one guy you talked about on here who said Merlo III is a captain. Never heard of Aiosa and Giacobbe is ancient isn't he, haven't heard anything about him since 99.

We'll have to wait til someone flips or the feds name the structure tbh. They've been under the radar for a while.

I wouldn't be surprised if that already started happening. its just natural. some of the NE guys my way only deal with NY now. there isn't an obvious demarcation line any more. a tire may get slashed or a window broken but bodies are not going to drop any more. they are going to work together to make money. the pie they are eating from is smaller. ust makes sense. its a natural evolution.

And still have room to play games

Anyone interested in facts, not internet BS, knows the more recent estimates over the last 10-15 years have been 40-50 members. There were some fed charts of the family back in the 1990's that actually did show 7 captains but all that would obviously mean you had some very small crews that. I doubt there is that many today. And where does anyone get the idea they are bigger than the Colombo family, which is said to have approximately 100 members?

its the soprano state I guess it could happen but I don't think nyc would allow it? but they got a whole fucking state to recruit from im guessing ya they could have 50 60 guys 80ty seems lil excess. but I heard they inducted cris cristie aka bridgegate sal. they prick your finger and burn some tissue make you say some oath I could see them inducted some roids heads every year to go collect grampas layoffs.

Hahahaha I read that guy's article. He is a joke. He claims to have FBI contacts feeding him information, and he also published an article that said George Borgesi had taken the "big seat" in Philadelphia. Farthest thing from the truth. When people confronted him about it, he tried to retract and re-write the story but never finished it.

Also, to you guys who know more about the NJ family than I do, who do you believe is the boss? That dunsky at Cosa Nostra News who is proclaiming 80 made men and 7 captains said that Charlie Majuri was now the new "official boss" of the family.

However, Scott Burnstein has a different opinion in his Mafia Insider column:

John Riggi, 89, was released from prison in November 2012, following a two decades-plus stint as a guest of the federal government on a extortion and labor union-racketeering conviction. He is currently still the official boss of the New Jersey mafia, though he has heir apparent and “acting boss,” Sicilian-born Frank Guarraci “running the show,” per sources with intimate knowledge of the Jersey mob brass. Guaracci, 57, headquarters his operations out of the Ribera Social Club in the city of Elizabeth.

How can u write a story staying something to be true and then not state any facts or sources and expect people to believe it ?? I could say sal catalano is the new boss of the bonnanos I have a source but I can't tell u who it is . It's utter bullshit . I had to correct them over there twice yesterday , they put a pic up claiming it was George freselone so I said that's not him he is to old and freselone died at 48 , they then changed the photo ( they got it off real deal ) to another pic claiming it was freselone , that wasn't him either , I said I would take this one down aswel because it's gambino rat primo cassarino , I don't know why people bother wen they havnt got a clue
