Pretty sure that was fake info floating around the Internet from back in the 90s and early 2000s. I remember they also had Sal Amarena as the Boss and a bunch of now known independents as Soldiers. Back then it seemed that any Italain busted for a crime in SF during the 90s was lumped in as a made member of SF.

I saw velotta's name in a post B made that Skinny was proposed in 1968 in A bompensario file. So when i saw he was a so called boss i wanted to see if there way any merit to it . I will have to find my copy of Fratianos book to see what it says about Skinny being made if he ever was offically made or is this some internet rumor.

He was an Associate at the time Frattiano was outed as an informant (1977 or 78?). Don't know if he was ever made after that.

Wasn't he a capable career burglar a la James Caan's character in Thief?

Pogo do you know if sal aramena was a made guy ? I seen him listed as Tampa guy and then moved to Cali but I can’t find anything to determine if he was made or notPogo The Clown wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 2:05 pm He was an Associate at the time Frattiano was outed as an informant (1977 or 78?).

He was an Associate in Frattianos mini SF Crew during the 1970s. Don't know of he was ever made after that but like Velotta I highly doubt it.
