If you and Ivy there are not aware of what went on in Upstate NY between the Buffalo and Colombo families as a side result of the A-B-C wars in Rochester,Syracuse and Utica in the 70s and 80s, including the body count (Both Grillos, Marrone,Deblassi,Manassi,Faliciano,Dequeno,etc) and the near misses(Berg, Brindisi, Bretti, Nappi, DeAmico, Cuda, etc) I sugest you do a LOT more listening and research and a lot less talking.


You seem to want to give us the inside scoop on everything from upstate New York, to Rockford, to Vegas. You remind me of an old poster on another forum years ago that was dubbed the "Forrest Gump" of the mob. You always find yourself in just the right place, at just the right time. Never mind much of your posts don't square with the facts.

You claim the Buffalo family has around 60 members right now. Sorry to break it to you but there were said to be only about 45 members back in 1989. Last year, one article cited a 2006 FBI chart that showed 23 remaining members. And a few have died since then, leaving approximately 20 members remaining.

You also claim Milwaukee has like 20 members. They may have not even had that many the last time there was actually a mob case in that town, which was in the mid-1980's.

Then there's your claim that Rockford is "soon to open the books." Even if this were true, how you would know this, and why you would be posting about it here, is anyone's guess. There hasn't been a formally structured family in Rockford in years. There's only been one relatively small gambling case there in recent years and the guy overseeing the operation (Saladino) was later identified as an associate of the Chicago Outfit's South Side crew.

And now you're going to tell us about the Buffalo family's activity in Vegas. As another poster said above, the last activity in Las Vegas involving the Buffalo family was in the 1990's. A few years later, it was reported the only families that still had any activity there were the 5 NY families and Chicago. And even then there were only about a dozen members said to reside in Vegas and some of them were in prison.

Anyway, you can drop all the names you want, and make all the claims you want, and obviously there are enough gullible dopes on the internet that you will get some bites. But some of us have been doing this long enough that we can smell a bullshitter a mile away. My suggestion is you quit now.

Take care. wink
