Pogo has Ernie and Patty Maiorino listed as Bronx captains plus the Spirito’s are in the Bronx and you’d have to assume most of the ‘20 friends’ that Spirito Jr made are probably Bronx guys. Saying Mancuso owns the Bronx is probably an accurate statement in a mafia sense.

The Genovese, Luccheses, and Gambinos all have a larger presence in the Bronx than the Bonannos do.

Highly highly disagree with the Gambinos having a larger presence than the Bonannos in the Bronx. The Bonannos have their administration there and made guys on the street there, including young guys. Campos is a top earning captain but the Bonannos have by far more street presence in the Bronx in my opinion, and you could argue they are stronger than the Luccheses there considering Crea is off the street for good.

You may right about the Gambinos at this point, though I think the Bronx faction of the Bonannos gets overamplified due to all the drama and high profile people out of that wing of the family. The bulk of the family is in Brooklyn, Queens, etc.

Every recent picture I've seen of Mancuso, he legit looks like a scary guy. Like...nuts
