And…? Guys like Petrocelli getting killed is one of the reasons the Outfit fell off a cliff. He was one of the biggest earners & most feared guys in the family, and his crew was one of the most ruthless. He was boss material, and if he could get killed, then anyone could. It deterred young guys from wanting to get involved in the family. No one liked LaPietra, he was one of the most miserable, disliked bosses in the Outfit

Anyways, what does Petrocelli getting killed have to do with anything that’s being discussed here?

Petrocelli was stealing money, had a standup guy and good earner killed Tony Borsellino out of jealousy and was possibly a snitch. Hardly boss material. That being said, was definitely an earner and was definitely a killer.

Yeah, I wouldn't know if Butch was a good candidate for boss. Part of why he was killed was because he got drunk at a party and told everyone he was gonna be the boss. He would have been another Casso if he became boss.

You think Petrocelli would have been hit if Turk Torello didn't pass? I think the timing that he's hit a year after Turk dies shows you how ruthless that Buccieri crew had become. Petrocelli was Torello's guy - which was heavily focused on in Family Secrets. I think LaPietra taking over after Torello passes and the crew changes hands is what sealed Butchie's death warrant - LaPietra and likely Ferriola had no need for Torello loyalists who thought they were big shots. They put all of their own guys in place in Cicero and Chinatown.

He was probably made in the late 90s after getting out of prison. A lot of people were surprised that he was in the boss position bc of his age. But no matter what is said about his old mugshots and how he looked like a biker, all the people still around only have good things to say about him and hope that he gets released bc of him being a standup guy.

The Petrocelli crew were bringing him on robberies & beatings when he was in his early 20s. He was clearly a prodigy from a very early age.

As part of his plea agreement in the 1990 bust, he admitted to being associated with the Cicero crew for practically his entire life.

A glass manufacturing company in Vegas, if I remember correctly.
