I haven't added your Pittsburgh additions to the list as I'm trying to keep the list mainstream/current families.

But very interesting and appreciated.
Thanks Sonny. I understand but still wanted to contribute some info on a lesser known family and its members
Mate your contributions are very valued and interesting.

He handled a lot of the hotel bars ( bars below with efficiency apts above them) in the Indiana area. Dealt with people with the name of pitzeral kowilski and some other shady characters of the area.

I remember the prosecutor thinking the idea that Cirillo was broke, considering his position and things like the fact he ran Chin's huge loanshark operation for years, was ludicrous.


What the proscutor spouse to say he is trying to convict? A genovese boss using a public defender ?

I think for Leonardo Rizzuto, being a lawyer was his real job until he made the switch to crime boss.

I never heard the name and when I ran a search through the Post Gazette Archives, his name did not come up. Sonny Ciancutti had a coin shop called Arnold Coin. What was Cantalupo's real first name?

In addition to the comprehensive list you provided, please add the following:
Wango had a Junket business with an office in downtown Pittsburgh. I know because I almost went to work for him.
Henry ran junkets for Wango in the 70s. Hard to believe that I bought pasta from Zebo for my restaurant. It was fabulous!
Jo Jo was was employed by Wango as a junketeer to meet the conditions of his parole when he was released from Lexington.

Very interesting read... almost hard to believe that they yielded so much power as late as 96 and by the early to mid 2000s they were done...

When they have "friends" in high places as Union Stewards and officers who are willing to help, it's a classic case of corruption.
