Also I couldn't help but notice the age of some of the Gambino guys. A few in their 30s and 40s...even a captain in the 30s. Seems relatively young for this day and age. Shows that things are still movin along in the city...or on staten island at least ...
There seems to be plenty of young guys around. It's the GoodFellas generation. Hollywood has given us a gang of young mafia wannabes. This explains the age gap.

Heres the rundown:
No made guys from the Lucchese (1 Associate) or Bonanno's (3 Associates) was taken down. 2 Genovese Soldiers, 2 Decalvacante Soldiers, from the Gambinos Bobby Vernace(Ruling Panel), Joseph Corozzo (Consiglieri), Luis Mastrangelo (Capo), Alphonse Trucchio (Capo), and eight 8 other Soldiers, plus 22 associates. The Colombos have the entire administration taken down. Andrew Russo (Street Boss), Benjamin Castellazo (Acting Underboss), Richard Fusco (Consiglieri), Teddy Persico Jr (Former Ruling Panel), Joseph Carna (Capo), Dennis Delucia (Capo), Reynold Maragni (Capo), Anthony Russo (Acting Capo), plus 8 Soldiers, and 18 associates.
Decapitating strike against the Colombos!

Its never the end for the New York Families, it is sure a huge blow. But they will recover, it aint over yet. As I've posted many times before, Mukremin (as have Ivy, Turnbull, Lilo and many of the other knowledgeable posters here): The Families will be around for quite some time. For as long as people want to gamble, borrow money and buy drugs (and that's pretty much forever), but it will NEVER be the same. I'm not trying to offend you because you seem like a bright kid and I enjoy your enthusiasm about the subject of organized crime, but I think that living halfway around the world, coupled with the fact that you're still quite young, blinds you to the fact that these guys are a shadow of their former selves. Sitting by your computer and rooting for them to return to their glory days will not make it happen. You just don't understand American law enforcement. Although it's at times quite prejudicial (a fact that drives me insane), they place Italian-American gangsters second only to Middle-Eastern terrorists on their "bad guy" lists. They'll cut a deal with the Taliban before they'll allow American Cosa Nostra to completely rebuild. Again, please don't get offended by my singling you out like this. If you like, feel free to pm me whenever you want  . Yeah i understand, but its just my own opinion. No one has to agree with it, and i dont have to agree with everyone else. I respect all the members here, and seems that everyone has an opinion and no one else is getting lectured On topic: This is indeed big, but time will show who will be really put in prison. Thanks for the pdf Dapper Don

Also, does anybody have ANY photos from the arrests? I am dying to see what some of these guys look like, especially Vernace. same, just seen the video and some pics of them being booked from behind, all of them looking like bums! I have seen homeless people on the subway who were dressed better than these guys, whatever happened to the days of wearing a classy suit so when the cameras see you you dont look like a jerkoff? Images of Gotti, Locascio, and others remind me of this, then again those guys probably know they were getting arrested they got tipped off. If I was going down I wear my best suit for the cameras go out in style. I read on another forum this member posted that he knows this guy who some "guys" from NJ and he was saying that they were waiting for the FEDS to pick them up this morning before the raids even started cause apparently some of them were tipped off.

I honestly see one route the Colombo family can now take: Completely sever all ties to Persico and his supporters and restart. I genuinely believe that the Profaci crime organization as it was once known is done. thats what i have been preaching for quite some time now, all the persicos should be outcast and the family should start rebuilding, follow the joe massino model (before he flipped) just make close members(sons,family) of made guys already so that people will be less likely to flip cause they will be hurting their blood family as well as the crime family.

Press conference.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/41172980#41172980Looks like the Justice Dept. is working to merge it's organized crime and racketeering unit and gang division.

I will never forget the day when I saw the pictures of Tommy Shots and Dino Calabro being lead away in handcuffs. Haven't had a laugh like that since I saw Steve Martin trying to hitchhike in The Jerk. This is untill know a major event. Withing a few days well know the details. According some defense counselers, some of the clients will flip. I wonder if it will be the top Colombo guys who will flip. My predictions usually don't come true, but judging by the luck of this family I predict Allie Boy, Andy Mush, Fusco, Gioeli and Castellazzo flip on the two guys that are left..Sonny and Junior.

LMAO! Agreed Tommy Shots was a brutal picture thats for sure, looking like a bum with a big white tshirt and shades on with his tits flopping around.

If you really think guys like Allie Boy and Andy Russo will flip, no wonder your predictions usually don't come true.  LOL, i highly doubt any of the direct Persico relatives will flip, but the rest are up for grabs...

After that happened, nothing surprise me anymore. Well OK, if Sonny flipped I'd be surprised.

But if somebody like Sonny or Carmine Persico ever flipped LCN foundation is def hurt at its core.

Interesting all the Genovese made guys I have seen in the past and today are older like 40s and Captains around 50/60. Seems the family waits to make guys which porbably helps them avoid turncoats
