Re: Dom Grande’s House Vandalized

Iv always thought that the feds are waiting for Joey to be locked up for the gambling charge he pleaded too recently before unsealing their indictment and rounding everyone up, if the Feds can prove the hit was okayed by Merlino then he is going away for life on murder conspiracy plus whatever else ...

Re: Bonanno crime family associate shot near his Bronx home

This was a proper attempt to kill not just injure and scare him.

I wonder who he has upset

Re: Relative of Cosimo Commisso (GTA) killed

Peter Edwards's latest article mentions that tensions between the GTA Siderno Group and others in the underworld increased after Vito Rizzuto's death in December 2013. "Man killed in Woodbridge shooting had family ties to organized crime" https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/07/02/man-ki...

Re: Arrests in NY, induction ceremony taped

I’m lost, where does it actually say the Violi’s were present at the Bonanno family induction carried out by Damiano Zummo?

Re: 5 Family's Making Ceremonies

Does anyone know when sal montagna or mikey nose mancuso was made? Mike Mancuso was made in the 1996-1999 time period. Released from prison in '96 after doing time for manslaughter, and was probably a soldier by the time he was involved in the Sciascia hit. He was involved in the sciascia hit? As f...

If the family was smart theyd pick either joe grimaldi or anthony pipitone as the skipper. The only person who seemed to hate DiFiore ...
