That's right forgot about Philly too.
Seems like Gotti tried to take everything over just about.

A lot of the power comes from the money

Those guys were earning with 3 fists.

You would walk into a club in N.Y.C. they had an enterouge at times 20-30 deep, buying Crystal, like they were movie stars.

I remember they went to the Bahamas 100 deep, crazy...

They were to BensonHURST a mini version of what Gotti was to Howard Beach.

Sorry can't answer the now questions as I am no longer around any of those guys.

The guys I know and run into from time to time really go out of there way to be invisible.

More than a handful are lending money via cash advances on down town wall street. Give it some time you will be reading about that business in the not so distant future.

After Bill, got clipped and Bills two biggest earners went away for 7-8 years, a lot of their younger guys were taken over by Lil Dino for a while, then in 2008 he got knocked and ended up getting like 50 years for trying to get the guys who killed his younger brother Frankie. Don't know where they stand now.

Scarpa' s wife had spoke to Allie Boy and told him that Wild Bill, was in the streets acting like the boss of the family.

I read that in an article somewhere.
It was a long time ago I don't remember where.
