They've had at least 20 members die since Mancuso took over as boss but remains to be seen if they're actively filling those open slots.

I don't think the admins want people posting full GR articles on the forum out of respect to Scott but it would be nice if someone who subscribes could give us a synopsis of the article.

Who’s Kim?
I doubt Vinny is gonna get out but if he did I’m sure eyes would be on him 24/7. Wonder how many ceremonies Mancuso has had since being out.

November 2015: (Canada) (ceremony presided over by Acting Capo Damiano Zummo)
Vincenzo “Enzo” Morena (Informant)
+4 members inducted


Late 2015: (In a gaarage in the Bronx)
Tommy Valente


2013-2015: (Likely in the above mentioned ceremonies)
Nicholas “Pudgie” Festa - ?
Steven DeSimone - ?
