We’ll i heard tentions were so bad they almost went to war. Ya believe that?

This goes back to Vincent Basciano. Salvatore Montagna was accepted by the other crews as he was friendlier with them, so Vinny Gorgeous tapped him but the Bronx crew did not trust him, and was keeping tabs on him. There has been two acting capos since DeFilippo passed away, Tony and Zummo both in jail, the official Capo is either "The Nose" or "Louie Haha".

And regarding "Louie Haha." He is based in Brooklyn, and was part of the crew that Vinny TV took over. I don't think he has ever been linked to the Bronx.

So mancuso took over after vinny tv went away?

Are you saying that DeFilippo was the "official capo" of the Bronx crew at the time of his death? I sure hope not...

You've named Damiano Zummo, but there is no evidence that he is Bronx-based at all. Who is the "Tony" you mentioned?

And regarding "The Nose" (Michael Mancuso), he is, as of 2015, the family's official boss. He was first named boss in Sep. 2012 and has since held on to that title. We know this for a fact and the feds have confirmed that he was behind John Palazzolo's promotion to acting boss and the near-miss of an "internecine family war" in 2015.

And regarding "Louie Haha." He is based in Brooklyn, and was part of the crew that Vinny TV took over. I don't think he has ever been linked to the Bronx.

Where did you get this misinformation, Giacomo?

Attanasio also owned a house in New Jersey, does that make him the Capo of New Jersey? No. He was raised in Westchester, and you can find evidence of him rubbing shoulders with Genovese and Lucchese members, he just happened to join the Bonanno Family when they were looking for members in the 1970's and him moving to Brooklyn. Just because one lives in one borough, does not mean they do not have soldiers in another borough. Tony Green had influence in the Bronx and Manhattan, but he is from East Meadows.

Are you telling me that the ******* across the street can't find the reports on Zumma from the late 1990's and early 2000's, nor the big one from the Lucchese wiretap about the Bonanno's making too many members and Zumma's name popped up?

On Patty from the Bronx. Officially he was not the Capo and Basciano was, then Sal the Iron Worker was, then Tony as acting but only identified as a soldier. Unofficially DeFilippo was seen as the Capo while Montagna was seen as the official acting boss.

No no. Vinny tv was boss until his indictment in 2012. After he was arrested, ya think the fam elected mancuso the boss?

When exactly do u think mancuso took over as boss?

Also, in one of those Massino books, Attanasio set up Bonaventre, and he sent word through, Vitale? I forget, but he sent word to Massino to ” go ahead and make me capo, before the crew kills me.." Or something like that. So I think he definitely was capo of the Bonaventre crew, which was Brooklyn....

That’s quite possible. If mancuso has been boss since around 2005, then sal montagna must’ve been his street boss. Same with vinny badalamanti. And mancuso must have had an authorization on the anthony seccafico hit in 2009.

Yep. Attanasio's always been Brooklyn based. As has his brother, Big Bobby, his friend and successor Peter Rabbit Calabrese.
Calabrese and Attanasio were not only partners in the Bonventre hit, when Louie Attanasio was indicted in 1988, Calabrese became an acting capo. It would be a huge coincidence if Attanasio was a Bronx capo and Calabrese, a Brooklyn guy and a close Attanasio associate, became an acting capo of a Brooklyn crew....
Also, Peter Calabrese's son Anthony is a prominent Bensonhurst soldier under Vinny TV. He served as the crew's acting capo for a time.
If you need even more proof, Vincent 'Elmo' Amarante is a prominent Brooklyn soldier, drug dealer, and ran bookmaking in Fort Greene, Red Hook, Coney Island, and East New York. By all accounts, a BROOKLYN soldier. A 1989 FBI report described Amarante as Louis Attanasio's "right hand man," and when Amarante later moved to Chicago and was arrested for running prostitution, George Quinlin of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force confirmed that he worked for Attanasio.

So, if Giacomo is to be believed, what we have here is a Bronx capo, who has never been linked to any Bronx activities. A person who, for some reason, really pushed to have a BROOKLYN capo (Cesare Bonventre) killed and, once he killed him, inexplicably became capo of a Bronx crew (according to Giacomo). He committed the hit with Brooklyn soldiers.
Apparently, he's also a Bronx capo who:
1. Ran loansharking with Brooklyn wiseguy Peter Calabrese, who would later take over Attanasio's crew.
2. Was heavily involved in a Brooklyn numbers racket with a whole lot of Brooklyn wiseguys.
3. Had a Brooklyn-based right-hand-man.
4. Was heavily involved in Brooklyn real estate and arrested for dodging taxes on those properties.
5. Was arrested in Brooklyn for loansharking in 1996
6. Was close to James 'Big Louie' Tartaglione, a Brooklyn capo.
7. Has never been linked in any substantive capacity with any Bronx wiseguys.
