General Mob Questions

I read somewhere that one of Nicky Scarfo's sons was driven to suicide either in school or college. I wonder if Nicky Scarfo avenged his son?

It was his son Mark. He hung himself when I think he was 16 or 17. His lawyer told him the news and apparently did not even skip a beat. The only ‘avenging’ was Nicky writing to his wife through prison and blamed Mark’s death on her.

He survived the attempt no?

Yea, he survived and lived for quite a while after in a vegetative state I believe. Terrible for anyone to have to live like that

No direct information on that which is somewhat weird considering Bill Bonanno wrote a couple of books on his life. When he was made, he was basically based out in Arizona before moving back to NY. In one of his books, he does mention Giuseppe Venza as being a crew leader within the Bonanno Family. Venza was based in California so chances are Bill was made under him. That would be my guess. Bill was made a captain in 1959 and headed over a crew of (what appears to be) New York based made men.
