No I think Providence can hold it's own, besides the rules within the Patriarca Family is the Boss and Underboss both have to be from either the Boston Faction or the Providence Faction. That is the way it has been for years, here are all the administrations to the present. Patriarca/ Angiulo, Patriarca Jr/ Francesco Intiso, Frances Salemme/ Luigi Manocchio, Luigi Manocchio/ Carmen Dinunzio, Anthony Dinunzio/ Robert Deluca. Providence I think has alot of young blood and associates as I listed, but today guys dont get made unless you have proven yourself to an extreme. Look at Mark Rossetti, hes a suspect in 6 murders, been in the can more than out on the street in his life, and he's an informant. I think Providence right now currently has about 10 soldiers on the street with dozens of associates, who report to Joe Achille and Anthony Parillo, and in return they report to Robert Deluca. James Martorano's name has been thrown around with the Providence Faction and he possibly might even be a Captian from the word on the street, so Providence is smaller than Boston, but in a way solidified and must be respected.

Producer Kevin Rothstein
(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The FBI turned down a chance nearly 20 years ago to bust an up-and-coming mobster who was dealing heroin in East Boston, according to a retired state police investigator.
That up-and-coming mobster, Mark Rossetti, is now a captain in the mob, according to authorities, and has also been a long-time FBI informant, FOX Undercover has learned.
Bill McGreal was an undercover state trooper in 1979 when he was first introduced to Rossetti as someone who could sell him cocaine.
“We're not even past the ‘Hi, how are you?’ stage when he says, ‘I'm just going to explain something to you. If something goes wrong with this deal, something is going to go seriously wrong for youse guys’” McGreal recalled.
“This kid is 21 or 22, something like that. He's right out of central casting from The Godfather. This is incredible. I have never dealt with anybody that young that was trying to act so mobbed up,” McGreal told FOX Undercover reporter Mike Beaudet.
McGreal says he later bought a small bag of cocaine from Rossetti, but the case never went anywhere.
That’s because the next day, Rossetti went to jail after pleading guilty to assaulting and nearly killing an off-duty state police trooper.
Then, more than a decade later, around 1992, a drug user came to McGreal with an offer. He said Rossetti was dealing heroin, and he offered to go undercover and buy drugs directly from Rossetti in exchange for help getting out of jail.
This time though, Rossetti was no up-and-coming wise guy. His standing with the mob had grown, along with his record, which by then included a conviction for helping rob an armored car at gunpoint.
“So I decide, being a good guy, the FBI is looking at members of La Cosa Nostra. This guy is either made or he's about to be made, and I have an informant who tells me he can do hand-to-hand sales with Mark Rossetti, and he says he's willing to do it.”
McGreal, an FBI agent and the informant met.
“My informant lays out clearly his dealings, heroin trafficking, purchasing heroin from Rossetti…he explains more with Rossetti's dealings, and says he's more of an up-and-coming heroin mover in the East Boston area,” McGreal said.
A few hours after the meeting, the FBI called McGreal to talk about the case.
“I'm told, ‘We're going to take a pass on Rossetti.’ And I'm saying to myself, this guy is really the guy who has got a propensity for violence, with crimes of violence in the armored car and assault with intent to murder with the trooper. He's got a drug distribution thing and now he's dealing heroin, and he's moving around pretty good in East Boston, and they're going to pass on him? It didn't make any sense.”
“Hearing now that Rossetti was an informant for the FBI, does it make sense?” asked FOX Undercover’s Beaudet.
“It would make sense because if you got a guy dealing heroin and he's either in the mob or he's about to go into the mob, what better time to take him off?” McGreal replied.
McGreal says it’s likely that Rossetti's arrest then would have prevented future crimes. But what angers him more is that the FBI would go into business with someone convicted of nearly killing a fellow trooper.
“Part of the outrage on this to me is you got a guy who almost killed a trooper. Almost killed him. And then he goes out and he holds up an armored car…. They have to be looking the other way. It has to be the same as (James “Whitey”) Bulger. He's more important to us as a top echelon informant than he is as the target of a FBI investigation,” McGreal said.
Another part of Rossetti's background the FBI was willing to overlook is that Rossetti is considered a suspect in several murders.
While it's not clear exactly when Rossetti became an informant, a defense attorney in the current case said in court recently that Rossetti was caught with an FBI agent's beeper number in his pocket in 1992, around the same time that McGreal offered him up to the FBI.
The FBI declined to comment for this story, but the agency has said its handling of the informant in this case has been by the book.

Well not to argue Barber, but Jimmy Martorano was a Captain under Frank Salemme, and if you read Frank Salemme's indictment with Bulger, Flemmi, Bobby Deluca, Johnny Martorano, and Jimmy Martorano, you would see the FBI had Jimmy as a "Captain" in the Patriarca Family at the time. Jimmy is no rat either and is just as dangerous as his brother, and Jimmy has a great sense for business. Personally, I would have thought Jimmy would be in the administration by now judging by his charecteristics. I heard from some people that Jimmy was a Captain, now he may have hung it up down there in Quincy, but I dont think he has.

Im glad you do sir. Well there is a rumor that just came across my desk that a well known made member of the Patriarca Family, who already is serving time, was pulled out of his sell to face more serious charges, and the word is it's because of Mark Rossetti. Here it comes everyone, the rat is starting to make the dominos fall. my guess is carmen or billy

Vinny here is what I been thinking. Even though the current leadeship did a good job of stabilizing the family over the last decade I feel there are 3 guys on the street right now 2 in boston and 1 in prov that cud really rebuild it if they wanted to. These guys are all old school gangster who were big earners and powerhouses on the street b4 doing serious time. When hit with serious sentences they all kept there mouths shut and did the time. They are the definition of gangster and if u combine there brains and balls with the many young associates out there I think they cud really put things back together if they want. All this is assuming MR decimates the current administration
Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this

It'll be a new day for somebody. With the amount of people in danger of indictments-whoever is left has an opportunity rarely seen.
