Merlino must think that he can make money off Tuccio. Remember Stanley Stein? The rich Florida lawyer who bankrolled Merlino’s restaurant? When was the last time you saw that guy in a picture with Merlino....

Lol cause the restaurant isn’t around anymore probably had it under his name so the feds couldnt seize. Once it closed down that was the end of that friendship probably

Tuccio will end up getting made one day if he doesn't rat.

He's Italian.
He exists.
He wants to be made.
His uncle is made.

In 2020 that's about all you need and in 2035 when he will be old enough to be considered (if he hasn't flipped) they'll be even more desperate.

20 years from now literally just existing will be enough to get in.

And if they don't want him in NYC then he can always go to Philly which he may already be thinking.

[Bkjo18thav]

True he has everything he needs pretty sure he will be with Philly now

[Targenmantarian]

Yeah. It doesn't take much more.

Also let's be honest. If there had been a board in the late seventies and early eighties then young Merlino would be getting the same treatment.

A lot of young guys with silly tendencies grow up to be actual crooks. Seen it happen more than once.

[Bkjo18thav]

hes On house arrest right now so he can’t see any people who are known to the police down Ozone he’s very known ...his unc good guys had to pay merlino I heard rumor ..who knows haha

I figure we're gonna be seeing some major busts against the Gambinos soon , Bigger than the last 2 or 3 since a few guys were id'd in other indictments and complaints but never charged and the Feds and DOJ stating in the Campos indictment that the Gambinos are "THRIVING" literally with not much interference

[Mason_dixon]

If the Gambinos are thriving what’s that say about the Genovese? I’d put them on a whole another levels than the Gambinos.

Genovese always make the most non narcotics cash.

Membership wise they keep shrinking because they are insanely selective and closed off.

But those alive do really well. But they lose way more people than they replace. Which at some point will hit a critical mark and hurt them. But they probably only need a few huge earners anyways.

Interesting take I always believed the Genovese were still expanding maybe just very selective on who they straighten out ? Lots of associates.

No one makes people at an older age, vets people longer, is more selective, or closes their books more often than the Genovese.

I don't think they have anyone in their whole family under 49 at this point and they haven't made anyone in years far as I recall.

I think they are super savvy. But they run the risk of shrinking to the point where they can't ever get the numbers back. It's happened to smaller families but as the five keep losing and losing and not replacing I think you'll see a point down the road where they are in risk of dying out completely.

Lucheses are also selective. They are down to 70ish from over 100.

Only family that stays where they should be numbers wise are the Bonnanos and Philly maybe. Possibly Gambinos although they are down from 250 to 100ish.

[Targenmantarian]

I mean look at the most current charts for them and look at a chart from 15 years ago or 10 or 20.

You'll see a huge contraction.

[Pogo The Clown]

No family is actually expanding. At best some are maintaining their membership levels though the same probably can't be said for the associate count.

100?

Pogo has over 150 Gambino members listed and that's not even taking into account the unknown members.

Gambino's are probably around 165 - 175 members.
