According to the new Gangland, Mikey Lance conducted the ceremony(look for him to be indicted soon)
Scoops Licata(indicted soon as well) was introduced as the new Consigliere at the ceremony by Lancelotti....also Grande and Mazzone were denied bail
If Lance and scoops were going to be indicted they already would have been.
he presided over the ceremony. Inducting people into the mafia and being the boss are all acts that support rico predicates and conviction. Go look at the other induction ceremonies that were recorded...Patriarca Jr, Piccolo etc etc ALL OF THEM Faced racketeering charges because of it..
It is absolutely a crime for Mikey Lance to be inducting people into a mafia that absolutely according to the evidence is engaged in Dealing Drugs, Extortion and Loan Sharking.. Unless he is an FBI Informant I can 100% guarantee he will be indicted. Him and Scoops licata along with others will 100% be indicted in a Superceding Indictment ...Inducting new members is furthering the activites of the enterprise and that is 100% a federal crime under RICO
Under RICO, leaders of criminal organizations can be held liable for crimes they order others to
commit, or assist them in committing, in furtherance of the ongoing criminal organizationUnder section 1962(a), it is a crime to “use or invest†any income derived from “a
pattern of racketeering activity†or through “collection of an unlawful debt†to establish,
acquire an interest in, or operate “any enterprise†engaged in or affecting interstate
commerce.7 To establish an offense under section 1962(a), the government must show that
the defendant had derived income from a pattern of racketeering or collection of unlawful
debt, and then used or invested some part of that income in the establishment and
operation of an enterprise, which was engaged in or its activities affected commerce.8 An
example of a violation of section 1962(a) is a drug dealer using the proceeds of a pattern of
narcotic crimes to invest in or operate a legitimate business.

b. 18 U.S.C. § 1962(b)
Section 1962(b)
prohibits acquiring or maintaining an interest in, or control of, any
enterprise that is engaged in or affects interstate commerce “through a pattern of
racketeering activity or through the collection of an unlawful debt.â€10
This provision
essentially makes it unlawful to take over an enterprise that affects interstate commerce
through a pattern of racketeering activity or collection of unlawful debt. An example of a
section 1962(b) violation is an organized crime figure taking over a legitimate business
through a pattern of extortionate and loansharking acts designed to intimidate the owners
