Ha yeah bunch of Caps.
Wonder if any of his guys have been made lately ..... did that crew break ? Or someone else the captain of what is left of it
The crew reported directly to John DeRoss, presumably until his imprisonment. After that, we're not sure. One former crew member (John Cerbone) reports to Staten Island capo Joseph Amato, and it's possible Amato took over anybody based in Staten Island. Another former crew member, Vito Difalco, might report to Teddy Persico Jr. but that's speculation.
But wasn’t DeRoss underboss and not capo?
Yep, and Cutolo was underboss too. But he still had a crew report directly to him, a crew that DeRoss took over.
Gang Land News, Feb. 15, 2001:
Last March (2000), said (FBI agent Gary) Pontecorvo, (William) Cutolo Jr. reported that (Alphonse) Persico, then serving 15 months for weapons possession, funneled orders to him through (John 'Jackie') DeRoss, who had taken over Wild Bill's crew when he disappeared. In June (1999), he reported that DeRoss said he had been promoted to family underboss.
Gang Land News, May 31, 2001:
Acting family boss Alphonse Persico, a dozen members of Wild Bill's crew, and John (Jackie) DeRoss, the Colombo capo who took it over and assumed his post as family underboss, all await trial on racketeering charges stemming primarily from young Cutolo's undercover work.
During one such discussion Cutolo had with DeRoss about a crew member, an exasperated DeRoss stammered that the associate couldn't talk about him like that: "I’m his captain, I’m his captain."
