"Enforcer"? I'd call that about as low as one could get traditionally.

Non Italian associate is as low as it gets.
Italian associate.
Made guy.

So Damo's at least a couple of rungs from the bottom of the cesspool.

I wasn't talking about him obviously. I was talking about describing one as an "enforcer", which doesn't mean he is made, Italian or even an associate. I understand the pecking order. lol

My bad

Where is this Cheech?

Big Vince is a Brokester....

Now called*

It's at the corner of 2300 S. Woodstock St on the second floor. I think the first floor is a bakery or something like that. Haven't been over there in a year or so. It's not called Chin Don though, but basically the same exact thing operating as a late night speak easy. Not sure how active it is now, but a year or two ago it was back up in full swing.

I doubt Big Vince is doing big things. If memory serves at Staino's trial it came out that he was in Staino's crew and Staino was trying to place Big Vince as a bodyguard of sorts for the undercover agent who wanted to get some kind of drug/shylock operation going. I got the impression that it was more trying to help Big Vince earn a few dollars than ripping off the shylock.

In read somewhere his last name was Phillips and he changed it to filipelli. Supposedly to “Italianize” it

I wonder where filipelli stands in with things now?

Who are the enforcers with Dame in jail? Grande?

Is Big Vince out?
