Awesome chart. I wonder why the Bonnanos felt the need to bring 3 representatives to the meeting. The families were in such disarray in 98 that not all could actually send administration members? Or was it a move done out of prudence and avoiding heat. I know Graziano became Consigliere shortly after this (I think Spero was about to start trial), but it seems weird that George from Canada was there

Nice chart. Interesting knowing the attendees of the meeting. The only thing that seems off is the year. I think that Bellomo, Generoso, and Corozzo were all incarcerated in 1998.

Chris Christie put “1998” in quotations because that was based on Sal Vitale’s testimony. In reality, the sitdown could only have occurred from 1993-1996. Probably ‘94 or ‘95, which is when William Cutolo agreed to rejoin the family as a soldier under Alphonse Persico.

He was shot 3 times during the war...wondering where he fell in being a old longtime member. What was his role in recent times?

He was a soldier in the Cutolo crew, and was reintroduced into the family in 1995 after serving on the Orena faction.

That is a lil weird ! Isn't that around the time Sciascia was complaining about TG being wired up on drugs and it was an embarrassment to the Bonnanos that he was going to and representing the family at high level meetings with other families administration members whacked out of his mind on drugs ? Maybe he was sent to watch TG and how he conducted himself and report back ? Sciascia also was a huge direct drug trafficking conduit between himself, Montreal/Canada and to members of other families?!?! I'd like to find out myself

Probably even earlier than that. Vitale said it was shortly after Joe Scopo was killed which was in October 1993.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

exactly. not sure about sciascia in relation to the other families and drugs, but the timeline of his “beef” with TG fits right into this. he was killed less than a year after this meeting. i remember reading through vitale testimony or in a book or somewhere his complaint about TG - “everytime i see this guy, he is stoned” LOL. so what George, lighten up. I wonder if TG was doing key bumps on his bathroom breaks in this very meeting. one could only wonder. so the guy liked to have a little fun?

but yeah it is kind of weird he was there. IIRC at this time, Massino was the only real, sitting Boss out of all of the 5 families (unless Bellomo was always the official boss after Gigantes death. not trying to start theories, just saying)

in “true” LCN protocol, Massino not attending something like this is normal,right? thats what the Underboss is technically for? it seems like Massino utilized the underboss position to a T...everyone (other families) was meeting with Vitale all the time
