The context of the conversation was how many guys they had that were shooters. Aparo said, "We got thirty, forty guys". He wasn't referring to total members.

I don't recall that but if he did say it then I have no clue what Aparo would be referring to. Genovese have always been estimated at around 200 or more members.

Could you call Staten Island anybody’s “turf?”
These days you couldn't but before the bridge opened in '64 Staten Island was like another world compared to Brooklyn or Manhattan, truly the forgotten borough and absolutely nothing like it is today. I do believe it was considered to be under the auspices of Joe Profaci back then.

There's a direct link to Little Italy and Bensonshurst emptying and Staten Island growing.

There's more guys from Mulberry Street on Tottenville than on Mott. Same with the Hurst and the Bronx too I'm sure.

Correct. Always .... and the D’Alessio brothers for Anastasia
Could you call Staten Island anybody’s “turf?” I dont think you could, at least I don’t think you could call it the Colombo family’s turf. They’ve never had a major independent presence there - historically, it was mostly overlap from Brooklyn, which goes for all families.

Charlie Moose was the longtime captain of that crew IIRC. John Pate was the last known “Staten Island”-based captain that I can recall until Joey Amato stepped onto the scene in the early-to-mid 2010s.

Yes. Also related to the Ricciardi's.
Thanks. I thought so (on both). When Tommy flipped did he give alot up on the Pernas?
yes he rolled on everyone. perna and taccettas went back to Brooklyn and tommy was on his own with his crew when they all got picked up. tumac was in jail already

it seems the bonanno's are really as active almost like gambino's and genovese's according to indictments, they are big both in staten island and queens, with crews also in brooklyn, manhattan and bronx, sure bigger than lucchese and colombo

How many crews do they have in si?
I don't know. Just looking at the past, they seem to have had the most activity there.
