As DM said, Grande is being tested on his loyalty to the family administration. My count is six made members, one possible, 5 transfers since 2005 into different crews, and 4 have died since 2000.


@Giacomo- What do you mean by "Licata is still in trouble, but not in hot water anymore..."? I wasn't under the impression that Licata was ever on bad terms with Merlino/Ligambi/Philly Admin? I agree that Joe Grande was in fact in a bit of "hot water" to use your phrase, and was furthermore sent to be with the Newark Crew to make sure he was in-line with the current Admin, etc. However, that said, I would question as to whether he is the Acting Capo of the North Jersey Crew. If anything Licata is the official with Lou Fazzini being the Acting Capo or day-to-day Street Boss.
