Avellino got put on the shelf at some point because of a plea he took that the family didn't like. He has since been reinstated however.

Thanks to John Pennisi, we know of quite a few Lucchese members who got put on the shelf for some offence or another including:

- Salvatore Avellino
- Anthony Baratta
- Anthony Grado
- Frank Lastorino
- Michael Perna

All of the above could be considered lucky to not have been killed instead, simply due to the extreme reluctance to resort to murder nowadays.
