Licata said sons plural so likely not a reference to Majuri. Don't recall him having a brother who is involved.

Damn majuri running the show?? I saw a picture of him in the hospital from probably like 4 years ago and he did not look good at all... like I’m surprised he’s still alive type condition.. who knows maybe he turned his health around and got a new boost in his life now that he’s running the show... wonder if he kid does/ is invoked at any level, he’s at that age, early /mid 20s... just wonder cause his father and grandfather both thought the life was good enough for themselves.. wonder if he won’t let his kid get near, or maybe the kid wants 0 to do with it...

The Philly family had some unspecified dispute with the DeCavalcantes that was addressed at the Ligambi, John Gambino, etc. meeting.

Licata was recorded saying that the sons of a previous DeCav leader were runnings things and he apparently had a low opinion of them. This recording was years before Stango identified "Milk" (as Pogo said, a nickname for deceased Joe Merlo Sr. so possibly extended to his sons as well), so it's not clear if Licata was referring to the same people who were acting/street bosses a few years later. Merlo Sr. was never a "leader" to my knowledge so Licata may not have been referring to them. Offhand, candidates who fit that description are the Riggi sons (previously shelved) and Joe Colletti's sons.

Never said who it was but narrows it down a lot. Maybe it’s one of the riggi sons?

I believe they were talking about the new leaders. The Street Boss "Milk" most like being one of the Merlo's. Though we now know that at that time John Riggi was still functioning as the Boss.

My money’s on Majuri. A state detective told me “the guy they call ears” is who he thinks is the boss now. He doesn’t work OC but in NJ narcotics and OC always end up overlapping. It’s their best source of income besides construction.

Majuri’s Father was a leader too way back in the day.

Even if we were to take Gotti down from the forum charts based on what DiLeonardo speculated would likely happen, we wouldn't be able to fill the empty boss spot. I think it's best to carry Gotti as boss (in name only, as he has been for years anyway) until Capeci or LE identify Cefalu, Mannino or someone else as the new official boss

Don't know what the fall out from that will be. If indeed there will be any. But at the time of that column Capeci still had him as Official Boss.


Pogo
Fair to say that the Gambino's have turned their back on him?

Majuri is up there in age, is there anybody younger than him viewed as a potential leader?

Allies probably the official for some odd reason most likely because mush is a cousin but honestly mush should be selected as boss hes older and allie boy doesnt have the samr reputation as his father did. Do people really fear allie boy or do they really fear mush russo?

However teddy persico will be out soon and he could be running things soon even though hes not a smart guy. Michael could run things if he wanted to but I heard he doesnt want to be in the life?
Andrew Russo would not take over the family whilst on supervised release. He learned his lesson in the 1990s and made sure not to repeat it when he became boss in March of 2010, mere days after his supervised release ended.
That means if Russo is the acting boss, he most likely assumed the position in 2016. It wouldn’t surprise me if he did. He has historically had more family influence and clout than other street bosses, which is evidenced by him organising a panel to take over the family after he was imprisoned in 2011, and later selecting two out-of-state mobsters to return to the fold, all from behind bars.

Whoever is the “street boss” is there purely for the Persicos, in my opinion, since a law enforcement official - I believe it was Scott Curtis - said that Russo received no pay or tribute from his role as street boss, and all tribute money - most of which was collected by Angelo Spata, who made a lot of enemies by going around pushing for money - went to the incarcerated Persico brood.

There are two main avenues the family could have taken after Russo’s imprisonment. First, Russo proposed an interim ruling panel with Ralph Lombardo, Reynold Maragni and Richard Fusco. It should be noted that during this time period, both Maragni and Fusco were on bail, preparing themselves for a term of imprisonment. Russo’s next plan was for mostly-retired soldier Dominic Montemarano, who was living in LA, and Florida capo Thomas Farese to serve as acting underboss (de facto street boss) and acting consigliere respectively. This plan is similar to Ralph DeLeo’s promotion in which the Colombo administration promoted members who were not particularly influential or powerful, but who would follow the Persicos’ bidding to a hilt.
