Re: General Mob Questions

Was Jackie DiNorscio made? No, he was an associate. Highly disputable. Called a member in many articles. Your shit is weak at best. https://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/27/nyregion/all-20-acquitted-in-jersey-mob-case.html Nobody is disputing it. It's well known he wasn't made. You're just trying to enga...

Re: Visiting the West Side 1963

I can see Miranda being Lanza’s captain but where does Adonis fit in? Wasn’t he a Brooklyn-New Jersey guy? Did he have any other ties to Lower Manhattan? What crew was Angelo Fiore with? Adonis was a Brooklyn guy who also had operations in New Jersey, Manhattan, Florida, and Upstate New York. Fiore...

Re: 5 Family Crew Succession

In early 1974 Tommy Greco was demoted/stepped down as official captain and Antonio 'Hickey' DiLorenzo became official captain with Rosario 'Sally Young' Palmieri as acting captain. In Fall 1977 Palmieri took over the crew. That is not very likely, bn. Hickey DiLorenzo was under Frasca and his actin...

Re: Joe Massino Dead

Massino playing dime slots and eating jack daniels pulled pork sliders at TGI Fridays is hilarious . Fall from grace for someone who was used to the besta foods, besta wines Cadillac is better than a Lincoln. Yeah. Its got more power. Its got more leg room for your legs and its got more power.

Re: "They all used to be under Mike. Vito made them caporegimes."

Those guys who had been under Miranda and who were made captains in or around 1962/1963 were acting captains some years before. So Vito Genovese made them acting captains sometime before he was taken to trial and official captains later. The exception is Frasca, who seems to have been acting captai...

bn last year published an excerpt from the FBI file on Toddo Marino. It was reported that in 1953, that the 'captain' who is supposed to be the head of the Fourth Avenue mob in Brooklyn, has stepped down from that position. He was replaced by a man whose last name is unknown and whose first name/ni...

Re: "They all used to be under Mike. Vito made them caporegimes."

I expressed it incorrectly, I wanted to say that Frasca was the captain with 13 characters, and he replaced Licata, who retired in 1953. The captain who was removed from his post was apparently Licata, that’s what I wanted to say. Right. During the early days, Frasca s first name was often said to ...

Re: "They all used to be under Mike. Vito made them caporegimes."

They write that Alo had been in the Bronx since 1915, and before that he lived in East Harlem. I doubt that this was Yale territory, but it cannot be ruled out. It is also reported that Alo was also with Pellegrino. I wonder when Alo became a capodecina. When Frank Costello went to prison, Alo was ...

Re: Quiet Dom Cirillo Dead at 94

does anyone know if he had originally lived in NY or was he always in FL? Not always in Florida. Before moving down there, Frank Lawrence Dentico lived in Seaside Park, NJ. He also lived in Yonkers and at some time in Queens, NY. He is 76. Thanks HK. Do you know if he was ever arrested for anything...
