How is active the DeCavalcante family?

"Luca Vitale" in the book is Merlo Jr.

Despite some misinfo that "Milk" was someone else, I shared some years ago that "Milk" was the nickname for multiple generations of Merlos. I later contacted the co-author of Giovanni's Ring who confirmed that "Milk" aka "Luca Vitale" was Merlo Jr.

Why did he use physeudoms? So no one can keep track of his bullshit?

many of them had no criminal records and the FBI didn’t want that he published the book with those name.
essentially he censored anything you can’t google.
