Are the Patriarcas involved with any of the NYC or Philly families? I'm guessing the Colombos with that Ralph DeLeo situation and probably the Genovese since they have a crew in Massachusetts. Anyone other families?
They really don't have a formal affiliation with any of the NY families in particular. But there is contact and an ad-hoc working relationships at times. One Patriarca member, Chippy Scivola, was involved in a strip club shakedown with the Gambinos. And Anthony DiNunzio had contact with Stefanelli. The Patriarcas also warned some Genovese guys about shaking down another strip club, since the owner was suspected to be soft and easy to flip.
