Tommy had a crew in name only. It was an olive branch from Gotti for killing his Uncle Paul. It existed mostly in Connecticut and parts of Upper Westchester. Louie Ricco was the real power there for the entire time that Tommy was skipper (roughly '88 through '92).
But as far as THAT crew goes, everyone from Tony Megale, to Jerry the Head, to Braciole's nephew (he's dead, and he was a friend, so I'm not posting his name, but he shared Braciole's last name), to Nicky Buick, to Mario, and even Wahoo and Jerry were under Braciole for a minute. Strong fucking crew. Braciole is pretty much retired now, but he could still come out and tell 75% of today's wiseguys to go fuck themselves, and no one would dare argue.
Louie Ricco. Now THAT'S a man.
