I've only seen internet talk about those guys. Nothing official yet. But if Philadelphia and New Jersey are still making guys, it's certainly possible New England is too.

Thanks guys for the names of possible recent made members. I'll see what I can find on them.

Costa has had his button for more than a few years

Wonder what happened with these 21 guys who were convicted with Ascenzia in 2004: Alphonse Amendola, Carl Apuzzo, Charles Cerreta, Anthony Colavolpe, Thomas Copolla, James Cretella, Steven Datillo, Kevin Dolan, Mariano Grasso (whom I'm surprised wasn't made), Anthony Fry, Dominic Gentile, Ralph Ianuzzi, Michael Lamberti, Angelo Lucifora, Biagio Martinelli, Benedetto Minichino, Anthony Natalizio, Anthony Notarino, Nicholas Onofrio, John Vitello and John Zullo.

I don't think any of these have been confirmed.

One other note, Michael Romano, a member of the renegade faction during the 90's war, got out of prison fairly recently. I don't know if he is still involved. His son was murdered while changing a tire during the war. He whacked out Joe Souza in broad daylight in Maverick Square, East Boston in response as he held him responsible.

Added a couple of notes on some of these guys (only based what I've read, no first hand knowledge).

Pogo

I didn't find anything on Salvatore D'Aquila in the FBI Dead list but I'll keep looking to see if I can find something to confirm his death.

Pogo The Clown wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2017 7:24 am No on the first part. As to their peak I've seen them listed at 65 made members during the reign of Ray Patriarca Sr. That sounds about right. Their Capo peak looks to have been in the late 80s when they had 9 Capos. Though their Capo peak may not necessarily have been their membership peak.


Pogo

Thanks Pogo, I just assumed their membership numbers were in the 40-50 range when they were at their peak.
