Just saw Bonventre yesterday I drove by his auto body shop and he’s always outside. They guy def comes off as legit he’s always there. On another note Capeci keeps referring to this “violent Serbian gang” but what evidence do we have of that? And that Michael Michael is part of a mass murdering crew? Anyone?

Per the article, James Cahill was caught on a wire calling them a mass murdering crew. It could have be hyperbole or he was just speaking on reputation.

He was offered consig. So who knows.

Doesn't he live in upstate New York? Hard to imagine him being a captain from there?

Yea I’m Poughkeepsie. Highly doubt he’s a captain. about an hour and a half from the city.

Good info WG. Cheers

Here's the NYWC info in question. It should be noted that they aren't always the most attentive to detail in terms of keeping up with current status of people. Just one example, they identified Anthony Ciccone as a captain as late as 2019 even though that's likely not the case. Bonventre was indicted as an acting captain in 2014 and it's likely that was the most recent information the Commission had. I'm not sure why Capeci labeled him a captain but Jerry Asaro was identified as captain just this year and it would be a little strange for Bonventre to jump ahead of Giallanzo, especially as said, when he's living up state.

LONGSHOREMAN’S REGISTRATION REVOKED FOR ASSOCIATION WITH THREE BONANNO CRIME FAMILY FIGURES
May 30, 2017[/b]

Filippo Bonura, 42, of Oceanside, New York, who has been a longshoreman since 2005, had his registration revoked by the Commission today following an administrative hearing.

The evidence at the hearing showed that Bonura associated with three Bonanno Crime Family members: Giacomo “Jack” Bonventre, an acting capo in the Bonanno Crime Family who is a career offender; Ronald “Ronnie G” Giallanzo, a capo in the Bonanno Crime Family who is a career offender and convicted racketeer; and Sandro ”Santo” Aiosa, a soldier in the Bonanno Crime Family who is a career offender and convicted racketeer.

The Commission established that as a teenager, Bonura worked for Bonventre in a deli owned by Bonventre and later worked as a tow truck driver for a collision shop operated by Bonventre. In addition, the Commission proved that Bonura and Bonventre continued to communicate frequently as recently as October 2015.

Regarding Bonanno Crime Family members Aiosa and Giallanzo, the Commission established that Bonura was in communication with each of them on multiple occasions as recently as September and October, 2015, respectively.

The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found that Bonura’s association with three members of the Bonanno Crime Family gave “the clear perception that he could be influenced by them and presents the perception of an unacceptable risk of corruption that should not be tolerated.” The ALJ also cited Bonura’s previous addiction to drugs and problems with gambling and found that Bonventre’s conviction for gambling and extortion and his association with Aiosa, who also had gambling convictions, put Bonura “at a risk for corruption if he should ever lose so much gambling that he needs money” The ALJ recommended that Bonura’s registration be revoked and the Commissioners concurred.

That seems to be past tense, i.e. he was a captain in 2017.

Perhaps the clue is with Aiosa. As he's now deceased and Capeci fails to mention, one could infoer he was referring to the 2017 timeframe and logically Bonventre would follow.

First Ive heard Bonventre a Capo back then.

Might be wrong but I don't remember him being a captain around 2017 or at any time. In the mid 2000s he was acting for Jerome Asaro but had since been replaced. Would it be possible he took over one of the Grimaldi crews?

Sandro Aiosa died earlier this year. Capeci should've mentioned that.

Not always clear with Capeci but is he saying Bonventre is currently a captain?
[/quote]

Agree, it is ambiguous, but appears that way
