Serp....you are correct. It's my understanding that there have been some Philly guys using Pittsburgh associates' contacts to start their own rackets, but to the dismay of some posters....these have had to been cleared thru Pittsburgh...I must very respectfully disagree with the notion that Sonny C is the last man standing. That is an outdated notion....again, from what I understand.
You have a right to your opinion. Mike Genovese died in 2006. He made 5 guys during his reign. Sonny Ciancutti, Chucky Porter, Lenny Strollo, Joey Naples and Henry Zottola. I agree, there are many "former" associates still around, but they certainly weren't formally inducted. Pittsburgh did, however, hold in high regard, high ranking associates and many who are still living. And you're right, Sonny isn't the last man standing still alive. Lenny Strollo and Chucky Porter are still out and about...but they both defected and in Strollo's case, he testified against many people.
