Joseph Mousie Massimino is out of prison, I saw him within the last two weeks. I'm surprised to hear he doesn't have a higher rank, he seems to have been around a long time now, and appears to be a standup guy, he has done a lot of prison time over the years.
The upper ranks of the Philadelphia hierarchy have been rather hard to read over the past few years. Reports from the press, and even law enforcement, have been contradictory at times.
The only thing that seems to be certain is that Ligambi is the boss. There seems to be several top guys who act as Ligambi's immediate subordinates, though the titles/ranks they are given don't always match up. Those guys would include Mike Lancelotti, Anthony Staino, Gaeton Lucibello, Marty Angelina, Vincent Centorino, Steve Mazzone, George Borgesi, Joseph Massamino, as well as Joey Merlino.
George Anastasia suggested that maybe at this point we shouldn't try to force certain ranks on guys too much. That the hierarchy makeup of the current Philadephia mob may not be that rigid.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
