Joseph Baudanza looks like the most likely candidate from that list due to his younger age and credentials.


I forgot about Vincent 'Three Fingers' Ricciardo, 72y, a Long Island capo as of 2004, who was the representative and controller of the family's construction interests while Tom Petrizzo was shelved in the 1990s. Ricciardo, also known as 'Vinny Unions,' was viewed highly by John DeRoss and attended meetings with Genovese family constructions bigwigs, including Louis Moscatiello.


With a nickname like "Vinny Unions" I guess he has good influence in the construction unions. I didn't know the Colombos still have their hands in construction.

May be that guy could be the consig because the construction unions are a big money maker.



Tom Petrizzo was an enormous player in construction and was confirmed as the Colombo family's representative in construction and union rackets, but was shelved for supporting Vic Orena in the conflict. So post-1993, after his acquittal, he was shelved. This is probably around the time that Vinny Unions took control of the rackets, and he was later confirmed as the Colombo family's construction/unions representative. He was indicted in 2003 and spent around five years in prison, and Tom Petrizzo was brought back into the fold and got some rackets going, as well as Ralph Scopo Jr. My knowledge on that is a bit murky so I'd have to do some research.
