Re: Anthony J. Scibelli associate of Genovese crime family’s Springfield faction pleads guilty to extortion charge

I think the only confirmed members from the area are Mario Fiore who'll be turning 100 this year, Frank Pugliano who is also in his late 90s, and Emilio Fusco who isn't due out of prison until 2031. Pugliano's an interesting one. In one of the several interviews Arillotta has done, he said Pugliano...

Re: 2004 FBI affidavit NJ Genovese

While thinking of Cafaro's testimony, I'm reminded of something I read recently in a news report about his testimony in Bobby Manna's trial: Screenshot 2024-04-09 at 16.09.25.png I thought it was interesting that Cafaro would have such a specific date in mind for when Manna became consigliere, so I ...

2004 FBI affidavit NJ Genovese

The document can be found here: https://theblackhand.club/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12488 In July 2004, the FBI filed an affidavit in the District of New Jersey in which it outlined an investigation into the Genovese family. The affidavit was prepared by FBI Special Agent Jason T Brown, who had been ass...

In 2010, Scoops Licata was on tape talking about how he still passed the names of guys he proposed to the Gambino and Genovese families but not to the others.

Re: New LCNBios posts

Cooperators still count against the books. I believe Pennisi had a recent video where he talked about his current standing as a Lucchese family cooperator essentially being the same as a shelved member protocol wise (albeit one who'll never be off the shelf). So a slot doesn't free up when somebody ...

Re: New LCNBios posts

What do they mean by “ Assuming Scarpa's report is accurate and Mazzola's killing was the unsanctioned result of a petty dispute, this appears to have enabled the Genovese Family to prove no involvement on their part and allow his replacement.” It's against the rules to use dead members on inductio...

Re: John Pennisi Sighting / Sit Down News

Brief video says Desimone and Alfred Santorelli served on a two-man consigliere panel in 2017. https://youtu.be/IFITutLrBF0?si=npucjIxJzBws7W7G It's an interesting piece of information and reminds me of something else Pennisi has talked about regarding the use of panels. Before the 2017 indictments...

Re: John Pennisi Sighting / Sit Down News

Why have Desimone as consig with Georgie and Papagni in the wings? He was never referred to as acting, always official. Per Pennisi, DiSimone was first made acting consigliere in 2017, sometime after DeSantis became acting boss. From his blog: A high-level meeting held in Thomas Jefferson park, adj...

Do you know anything else about this? The only source I've seen for this is a fleeting mention in the book Convictions by John Kroger but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

Managed to read article 4 today on the substack. Once again, very well written. It's been fascinating getting to learn so much about a subject I until recently knew next to nothing about.

Merged all these Salvie Testa threads. It clogs up the forum.
