Quote
“Albert” is one and the same as “Individual 1,” according to Sheehan’s affidavit. Though the court records aren’t clear, convicted loan shark Albert Calvanese is believed to have controlled a chunk of the local rackets for years, law enforcement sources have said.

Calvanese, 56, of Springfield, is regarded as a smart, stealthy and dangerous gangster who eludes law enforcement by keeping his schedule unpredictable and his interactions covert.

He was last prosecuted in 2006 for beating a mortgage broker who owed him a debt while the broker wore a state police wire. The broker also sought law enforcement help out of sheer terror, state police said at the time.

What an idiot. The guy borrows 5k and ends up paying over 30k in vig and this dude is still pressing him. Why not just be happy with the 30k you made and leave the guy alone instead of chasing him straight into the arms of the fbi. And also who is “the kid” that he’s referring to? Calvanese is gotta be over 50 I wouldn’t consider him a “kid”

Tranghese flipped and is living in the area, similar to Arillotta
Delevo is deceased
Fusco is about halfway through a 25 year sentence related to the Bruno hit
Ralph Santaniello was set to be made and put in charge of the Springfield crew until he and his crew were busted in 2013 for another 'not so smart' extortion bust. He is incarcerated.
Amadeo is Ralph's Dad, who only came back from Florida after Bruno was killed, due to a falling out.

Unbeknownst to the others, Depergola and Santaniello later met with Onofrio and an undercover FBI agent to hand over the cash. Onofrio later complained to the agent that he'd prefer not to go to his cohorts up north for money.

"I don't want to deal with these Springfield guys. They're like girls. I mean, I'm the boss but ..." Onofrio told the government witness.

It's been happening there all summer. This whole crew went down repeatedly for extortion attempts, almost surprised that calvanese or whoever's left with him would try this...this is not going to work at all. extortion plus arson equals fucked in present day springfield/chicopee/longmeadow, imho.

The Springfield crew are a bunch of idiots. Shakedowns belong in the past because people don't put up with shit anymore, they run straight to the feds. This ain't the 1950's, you can't start burning garbage trucks and not expect the law to rain down a shit storm.

^ keep in mind these factors:

- most of guys up there are of Nola-Avellino-Benevento peasant stock, straight out of the armpit of Campania. They make the Gottis look like the Royal Family;

- Springfield is a small community and, whether we agree or not, they do have pull still, despite the mess since Bruno’s death;

- the Greek guy doing life that killed Whitey must have made them earn some street cred. Crazy to think about but that’s how that world is.

- Lastly, I don’t doubt that they have more guys than what we may be led to believe.

Fist,you can be a punk even if youre a pure sicilian;
Second,the city is small but the state is big so can expand out springfield;
Third,I doubt that a lifer can increase the street reputation of a mob crew;
Fourth,you can have 6 or 10 made men but if they haven't the brain to go out shylock and arson,there are problem.

And anyway I come from the Nola area. lol
