Yeah if you account for the unknown members and the members made since 2105 they're on par with or larger than all the other families outside the NY5.

I feel like it is.
It puts them on par with New England, though slightly smaller than Philadelphia.
Yeah, I counted about 30 still alive in that list, not counting if there’s any new or unidentified members.

Good list Chin. Without verified inside sources, we are always going to be a few years off on the charts.

Admin, Capos, members?

The chart is dated and useless.
There is no real insight past what was established in 2015 and then subtracting members who have died since that point (such as Merlo, Guarraci, Manny and John Riggi, Joe Gatto etc.)

Chin has a thread for the family around that time (I made a photo chart based off his info some time ago here) - the only additions would be Joseph Sclafani and Carl Corsentino as captains via some recent interviews with Giovanni Rocco. Given that it has been nearly a decade and both are now in their late 80s, you probably couldn't reliably identify them as holding positions anymore

Not sure if that’s 100% correct.
It was a false lien, not false charges.

Beltempo wasn't even made at the time of that conversation between Stefanelli, Licata and Fazzini in 2010. The Gambinos were going straighten him out and promote him to captain of the NJ crew. He was still a captain when Pennisi drove him and Truscello to the Bronx in the mid 2010s.

I don't think he is anymore (if he ever was). More like the Gambino member with the most seniority among the few left in New Jersey. Beltempo was mentioned in 2010 as having been put in charge of NJ operations and he was said to be Manhattan based. The Gambinos really haven't had a crew based in Jersey in at least the last 20 years.
