Very nice job! Looks pretty thorough. I like the way the Capo's run different cities in the region. Nice work.

The (presumably unreliable) wikipage of the Buffalo mob states that they have around 30-35 made members ( which sounds pretty realistic) but that they also have 250-400 associates. I think that may be a bit much for a small family.

I'm sure they're involved with the Rizutos since one of Buffalo's crew is in Canada.

23 members were cited by the FBI back in 2006. Since then, at least 3 or 4 members have died, including Todaro Sr. So the total family membership is probably under 20 now.

I think a few members are still alive there but I'm not aware of any mob cases there over the past decade or so.

Stern,

Few things I've noticed,

You are missing Sal Cardinale's son's Joseph and Ronald as associates.

Carmine Mambrino is also an associate.

Robert Panaro is 68 years old and possibly the new underboss.

Joseph Pieri has died.

Paul Cipolla is retired and in bad health.

Frank Falzone was left out he is the brother of Leonard and also a lawyer.

Joey Pugliese is actually the nephew of John Papalia not John Pugliese.

Dominic Italiano is in charge of Hamilton now not Joey Paps.

James Feliciano is a made man.

You got Joey DePaolo but not his brother's Bruno and Mike DePaolo.

Scalish, thanks for the info but only a few of your associates were actually associates. You are right about John Papalia. I'll put those ones up. I saw another thing you wrote once, about there being an edwardo (which is Spanish) being a made guy in the Cleve. family but that guy nobody even heard of. The info I have on the made guys are from reliable sources. Though, I do appreciate you sharing.

James Feliciano is NOT MADE. The guy is just a 30 year old kid who definitely never was made.

Please stop getting your sources from people who list these small families as being HUGE when they are almost gone.

I'm also not sure Joey Depaolo's bro's were ever involved in the mob, that would be guessing if I added them, and I'm trying not to do that.

Joseph and John Pieri are still alive. They're the nephews of the late Sam Pieri of the Buffalo Mob. Sam Pieri's brother, Joseph Pieri, had two sons, John and Joey Pieri, who are made.

Does anyone have any more info or articles on the boosting crew capo russel carcone ran? Sounds like he had some big stuff coming in and seems like a good hustle outside the traditional rackets.

Unless he moved back at some point, he still lives in Los Angeles. And once again, I don't think he's even made.

Do you know what year he died?

He's not dead, as far as I know, but his father died. I think he was confused on which Joe it was.
