Manna is at Fairton FCI in NJ. He's been there for many years. Pretty surprising to me that they kept him so close to his former power base but that is where he is and has been for years. Like I said, they've accommodated his family's request, which is VERY rare to begin with. But his ongoing health issues are well documented within the BOP, or they'd never house him so close to home. But good health or bad health, he's well into his 80's now. In my opinion he's not a danger to society.

Ive heard as recently as maybe 5-7 years ago he still had $ on the street. Monster book. Tino himself handled it for him for years and never took an extra dime for himself. But since Tino died, who the fuck knows? Because the guy over there right now ain't exactly the sentimental type . Have also heard he carried ALOT of influence for a long time while locked up. Of course. He's not the kind of guy that gets shelved, inside for life or not. And it's good to see you posting again, DB .

Louis (Bobby Manna) was made at a very young age, 19 or 20 year sold.

Was Manna a capo before he was made the consigliere? Was he in Chins crew at one time? That´s something I´ve been trying to figure out for years. I´m waiting for some FOIA files to arrive soon. Hopefully there is something that could shed some light on this. It´s certain though that Gigante and Manna were both part of the same crew in the early 1960s (Tony Bender´s crew). My guess would be that Manna was a member of Gigante´s crew before he became a consigliere. Thanks HairyKnuckles. If you find out anything with your foia request please post it up.

Him and Manna were two heavyweights in North Jersey for the Genovese. I bet they were both happy as shit when Caponigro got hit so they could grab whatever they could of his turf especially after Funzi died.

They weren't just happy , they were principal drivers behind that hit No doubt Manna knew it was coming. In Leonetti's book he said Manna asked Scarfo where the family would stand if something should happen to Bruno. Scarfo told him they'd stand with the Genovese and according to Leonetti Manna said he was glad to hear that. Scarfo might not of known the details but he knew something was brewing with the Genovese. He even told Phil something like Bruno has no idea whats coming his way.

didn't he wan to whack a prosecutor or the judge I think? Yeah Pmac an FBI report establishes that the FBI was informed by some CI that Manna was involved in a plot to murder: the trial judge, Maryanne Trump Barry; and the United States Attorney, Samuel A. Alito; and the chief prosecutor, Michael Chertoff.

Im ALWAYS getting Manna and Ida confused.
Can someone kindly breakdown when each was consig and any other interesting info (either/or still have any power etc etc)?
My thanks in advance.
Manna 81-90 Ida 90-97 Both pretty much got life sentences. The longer you're in prison, the more your power fades as your friends on the street die or end up in prison.

The longer you're in prison, the more your power fades as your friends on the street die or end up in prison. That's what a lot of posters can't seem to grasp. Now don't get me wrong, whoever posted that Manna still had his shy up for years after his conviction was spot on. Tino handled it for him until the day he died. But generally speaking, your power fades over time when you're inside for life. I mean, I hardly follow the Colombos because they're not Bronx based. I know a little about Richie Fusco because he was close to Greg, and currently I know a bit about Tommy Farese. But that's about it. But the Colombos are the best example because there are people on these boards (no one in particular here, by the way) who need to believe that Carmine Persico is still cryptically calling the shots like some Bond villain. Pleeeze. These days, Carmine Persico is probably content to get soft pudding a few times a week and keep his diaper dry.

through Genovese soldier Anthony Marchitto, "Tony Cheese". I believe he was an ILA union official on the Jersey City docks back then.
