He's living in Florida with his son. Going to be 100 this year.

Wow.

What the hell do they eat in the Westside.

I think actually he died recently.

https://lcnbios.blogspot.com/2020/05/decavalcante-family-late-1999-text.html Fantastic post on the DeCavalcante family c December 1999 Interestingly the Lawrence 'Larry' Martire that is listed as a possible member was arrested with Gravano, Milito and some Colombo’s back in 1974. Any idea if Martir...

Turned out that Farina wasn´t made. It looks like when he started feeding information, he may have embollished his status and falsely claimed that he was a made member.

Given that the Italy is running to the abyss... Why dont do like Castro? Take the members of Mafia,Camorra,Ndragheta,CSU with his relaties plus the common criminals and by emptying the asylums we send them to South America (not to the United States which has other problems) perhaps to Brazil in the...

The Cusimano brothers were difinitely Genovese members, under Frasca. They were not Gambino members. Scarpa mistook Big Larry Landi for Big Larry Pisani. Pisani under Frasca. Landi was not made to my knowledge, at least not at that time.

Iacovetti was born in NY and lived as a child and teenager close to Ozone Park, Queens. In the 1930s, the family moved to Altoona City, Pennsylvania. He may be interesting to do further research on because it appears he was one of the Mafia members (made in the 1950s) who wasn´t fully Italian. Mothe...

Nice podcast! Very interesting crime Family to discuss and go into detail with. Some stuff discussed I disagree with, but as a whole very interesting discussion. And it´s nice to see a face on poster Kidyouknow, a fine young man. The future of researching looks bright! Thanks to Frank Fiordolino for...

Sam DeCavalcante did not have the extensive knowledge of what the Commission could do or could not do. He did not sit on it and was not at the creation of the Commission when the rules were established. He stated what he was told by Gambino and Lucchese who certainly had their on agenda. I´d bet my ...

We better clean up our acts now. Chin s been upped. He s a very serious guy.

Cheech is a man's man! Salut!

He knows all about bookmaking huh? How tough can it be? You just write a manuscript and send it to your publisher. Thats how you make a book...right?

They called him Charles but birth name was Salvatore. There is a passage in Biondo's file on him.
