Ferriola is about 40. He's been involved in the rackets since the early 1990s, first with the Calabrese crew, then Cicero. He had a job at the printing company, yet was not tapped to do any of the work done by Carparalli and Co. To me, this means that Ferriola is too high up to do such minor work. If Cicero made a bunch of people in 2007 or 2008, wouldn't Ferriola be one of them?
Michael Posner never ran a crew. Posner was a big loan shark, bookmaker, vice king, but never on the level of Hy Larner or Lenny Patrick. Posner was part of the Cicero crew under Joe Ferriola, Rocco Infelise and it is said that now Posner reports directly to the Capo of Elmwood Park.
Isn't Panzarella well into his 60s?
Posner ran the other Lake County Crew in the late 70s/early 80s. In trial transcripts around the Infelice and Co trial, Louie Marino explains that its "them and Posner's crew" in Lake County to BJ Jahoda.
Posner is generations behind Larner and Patrick. His father Bernard "PeePee" Posner was one of Joe Ferriola's closest friends and a major drug dealer who moved down to Florida eventually.
Panzarella is older - I think his son runs a lot of his company nowadays. He also has Lou Capizzi working for him, a Grand Avenue fixture whose family owned Johns Sandwiches on Grand/Damen.
