As for Jimmy the Weasel: The midwest families operated as a pseudo partnership back in the day. You had guys from Cleveland, Detroit, KC, LA operating in crews together.
Out east you had Fat Jack DiNorscio who went from Philly fam to Lucchese Jersey crew. Then recently, Nicky Scarfo making the same jump.

I know that associates get traded around like athletes on draft day. What about made guys?
I know it prolly never happened with any of the big families. It seems to of happened to the families that didn't have the muscle to keep their soldiers with that particular family.
An infamous case was Jimmy "The Weasel" Frattiano. Was this a common thing? Does it still happen? Has it ever happened with the bigger families?
I'm very curious on how easy it is to start a life somewhere else that's mob controlled as a soldier. I once read that when all of the killing was going on in the Lucchese family, probably due to Amuso and Casso running amok, many made men started putting in for transfers to others families to escape being hit. Not sure what a transfer would consist of or what the financial ramifications are. My guess is that in some cases the guy leaves and the rackets stay behind, or else he'd have to take the rackets with him to the new family and deprive the old boss of what he was accustomed to getting.

Albert "Kid Blast" Gallo - transferred to Genovese family in 1975
Frank "Punchy" Illiano - transferred to Genovese family in 1975
Nicholas Bianco - transferred to Patriarca family in 1963, died of natural causes in 1994
I'don't know for sure if Jack Dinorscio was made in the philly mob,his father dominick (1911-2000) was a soldier.
The longtime Don of the Philadelphia crime family, Angelo "Gentle Don" Bruno, was killed on March 21, 1980, resulting in a huge power vacuum. Anthony Accetturo and Michael Taccetta, on the other hand, used their situation to establish a new foothold in Philadelphia as a part of the Jersey Crew, with illegal GAMBLING and loansharking operations. Because of the bad relations between the two factions in Philadelphia's crime family, as well as both Taccetta and Accetturo taking advantage of the situation, the relationship between Philadelphia and the New York Families, especially the Luccheses, eventually turned worse than ever, which led to all cooperation between the families being completely terminated. It was around this time that prominent Bruno member, DiNorscio, along with many others, defected to the New Jersey faction of the Lucchese crime family to earn greater profits and to avoid being killed.
Nicky Scarfo sr maybe soldier in the philly mob passed to the luccheses

Gravano went from Colombo to Gambino of course. Books weren't open but he was still up and coming and they let him move over. The Jersey mob had several guys move away or to. Guys used to go to Jersey if they couldn't get made in NY.

I think you're confusing him with DiBernardo.
-I shot him a coupla' times.
-What's a couple?
-Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times?
-Maybe fifteen?
-Hmm, it could've been fifteen...

Also the gambinos and Gaspipe wanted Vic orena and his guys to be absorbed into there families I dont know why Vic and his guys stayed in the colombos after they lost the war because these guys now have to kick up and take orders form guys who just whacked their buddies Never heard of this. How would the Gambino's & Gaspipe want Vic Orena & his followers to be transferred to their families after the war? The war was still ongoing while Orena was on the street, it didn't end until he was indicted on the RICO act and went to prison. I know Gotti & Gaspipe wanted Orena on the commission and got what they wanted for the short period he was on the street as boss. Never heard of the transferring families story though. DiNorscio wasn't made in the Philly family, he was on his way after years of being an associate, but got into a beef and some Made guy, I forgot who it was, wanted him dead. So Bruno had him transferred to a Lucchese crew, and the rest is history. Nicky Scarfo Jr. was never formally made into the Philly family either. He had clout based off who his father was, and participated in their illegal activities..He oversaw the operations with his uncle after his father went away, and that's when he almost got killed. His uncle was shelved not too long afterwards by John Stanfa. Nicky Sr, had Nicky Jr under the protection of some Philly guys who were based in Jersey for a short while, before having him formally inducted into the Lucchese's as a favor from his friend, Vic Amuso. There really isn't many examples of this actually happening, I don't think.

It's from the Brotherhoods book, and that story is according to Colombo capo Big Sal Miciotta who claimed Gas was thinking of absorbing the Orena faction into the Luccheses and they were in the process of talking it out.

In Piitsburgh, Stan Valenti, son in law to powerful Pittsburgh Capo Antonio Ripepi, and his brother Frank Valenti, both made in Pittsburgh, broke off and took over the rackets in Rochester with full support from Frank Amato/John LaRocca. Also, longtime Pittsburgh Capo, Sal Marino, from Sharon, PA went out to California with his son Angelo Marino and ran the rackets in San Jose under the protection of John LaRocca's cousins Pasquale & Alfonse in San Francisco as well as Boss Jimmy Lanza.
Sal Marino operated the Sharon Cheese Company and after his son Angelo, boss of San Jose, moved the cheese company to Cali, they sold it for tens of millions to Sorrento Cheese Co.
Also, Stefano Randazzo, made in Cleveland, transferred down to Tampa and became Traficante's driver and a made soldier under the protection of John "Peanuts" Tronolone, former Consigliere of Cleveland based out of Hallandale Beach, FL.
Also, James "Jack White" Licavoli and his brothers were originally part of St. Louis, moved to Detroit and while Yonnie & Pete stayed around Detroit, James Licavoli settled in Cleveland and became boss (by default and nepotism).

Yes made guys do transfer to other other families, not so much in the big families, with the exception of the Bonanno split where 10-15 made members left the family, but did not go with Joe Bonanno but with other smaller families, where they were operating.
San Jose
Charles Carbone- Pittsburg
Joseph Cerrito- Profaci
Salvatore Cerrito- Profaci
Joseph Chiri- Genovese
Joseph Cusenza- Detroit
Anthony Ditri- Bonanno
Vincenzo Figlia- Profaci
Carmelo Sciortino- Los Angeles
Salvatore Vassallo- Most likely made in the Bonanno family before relocating to San Jose.
San Francisco
Vito Bruno- Genovese
Joseph Curreri- Gambino
James Franzone- Chicago
Nunzio Mannina- New Orleans
Epifanio Trafficante- Tampa
Giuseppe Trifiro-Cleveland
Salvatore Maugeri is listed as a member to this family, but most likely remained with the Gambino family.
Los Angeles
Girolamo Adamo- St. Louis
Rosolino Bartolotta- Detroit
Steven Cino- Buffalo
Carmine Carpinelli- Cleveland
Aladena Frattino- Cleveland
Frank Gruttaduaria- Cleveland
Nicolo Licata- Detroit
Michael LiMandri- Gambino
Antonio Milano- Cleveland
Lawrence Musso- Kansas City
Angelo Polizzi- Buffalo
This is only the California cities, and does not include those members that moved out to these areas before the 1931 meeting. There are other LCN members who operated in these cities or areas that belonged to other families and never transfered to these families. The lists do not include associates that transfered from other cities and were made into these families.
Tony Milano never transferred to L.A. , although he owned many key unions out there along with his brother Frank because Warner Bros were from Youngstown. He put both his sons, Peter & Carmen Milano in control and spent 6 months a year of his semi retirement in Holmby Hills, CA.

Vincent Amato, Gambino made guy, was part of the Trafficante's family's Miami faction in the 1980s.

Tony Milano never transferred families, he and his brother Frank had a grip on Warner Brothers, who were from Youngstown. Tony ran the old Mayfield Road Mob and was a big proponent of entering business ventures with connected Jewish racketeers, he was partners with Moe Dalitz, Morris Kleinman, Louis Rothkopf, and Samuel Tucker, who all went on to seize control of Vegas and West Coast Rackets through Mickey Cohen. Milano was extorting unions from very early in his career, he had Bill Presser in his back pocket. Plus, he had Milton "Maishe" Rockman, known as the Meyer Lansky of Cleveland. Milano had all the major motion picture unions in his back pocket, more than any other mob family in the country. Hence, why Frattiano and his sons Peter & Carmen were in positions to take over. Tony's sons weren't like him or his brother Frank, they were educated and one of them was a lawyer...they grew up accustomed to privilege. Tony came from nothing and died with close to $75 million dollars, he was known to have his first communion money. He did a lot of business in LA and had a second home in West LA, but never transferred there, just had a lot of clout because Mickey Cohen was scared shitless of the Old Man.

Where you getting this number from? This is an absurdly high amount...not saying you're wrong, its certainly possible but wheres the facts?
