@Snakes, good work.
In 1993, Sarno & Cataudella were indicted in an extortion case but there is no asterisk next to their names. In 1993, were they not considered made guys? If not, When do you think they were made? They seemed more important than all the other names including the one name that did have an asterisk next to it.

Castaldo was a major guy (somewhat of a sleeper) in Elmwood Park that headed that operation. He was definitely a made guy. DiFronzo and Andriacchi were probably the only guys higher than him in Elmwood Park at the time. I don't believe Sarno or Cataudella were truly higher level until the late nineties and may not have been made until then, either.

I don't mean to delve too deep here, I just wanted to have some type of way to show important guys who were indicted without getting into the weeds of positions, made or not made, etc.

Okay, thanks. Seems like there were two crews involved. Elmwood Park & Cicero.

I don't think I see them on the list but there's also Sam Volpendesto and Mark Polchan who were convicted of bombing the video poker business and were part of Sarno's crew. I think they were indicted around 2009 if I remember correctly.

Thanks, looks like the Cozzos were always involved in money laundering schemes

Don't know the criteria that you were using, but here are some suggestions

Koroluk and Panozzo were also arrested for burglary in Dec. 2003 with Jose Martinez, and in Dec. 2004 with Brian David.
