i think people give them way too much credit on these boards being this secretive streamlined superpower though. they're small, and the smaller a family is, the less stuff going on, the less stuff going on... the less busts. which all means ...less info for us ohwell


Then there are the Outfit "experts" posing under different aliases who have their own agenda of promoting certain Outfit members.

The Outfit has always been smaller in numbers, but very powerful by controlling political figures and unions. The Teamster Pension Fund was their piggy bank through Allen Dorfman.

I'd say after Carlisi was sent away, they never had another strong and aggressive boss.


This is accurate. Black Sam Carlisi (Aiuppa's protégé) & Jimmy Marcello were the last two legit Outfit street bosses. Nowadays you have a guy like Solly D who could absolutely run it like it once was, but There just isn't enough in place/enough recruits to get the thing off the ground again. We'll see what happens. Cicero is still a very active, highly dangerous crew with a good deal of members, as we saw with the Carparelli indictment. So we'll see what happens.

Any idea if DiFronzo's grandson is involved? I know he works for D&P..
