https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USC ... 929-25.pdfDominick Cicale (“Cicale”) testified that he, along with Basciano, Anthony Indelicato (“Indelicato”), Anthony Donato (“Donato”), and John Tancredi (“Tancredi”) committed the murder. (Tr. at 5485-86.)
At the time of the murder, Cicale, Donato and Tancredi were associates of the Bonanno crime family, and Basciano and Indelicato were Bonanno crime family soldiers. (Tr. at 5486-87.)
http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/downlo ... z=b59b1782For example, regarding the Santoro murder, Vitale testified that he learned from Bonanno family boss Joseph Massino that Basciano, Indelicato and a former corrections officer shotgunned a man who threatened to kidnap Basciano’s son while that man was walking his dog in the Bronx and left his body in the street – details which match the murder of Frank Santoro.
A May 6, 2005 FBI report of an interview with Frank Vasaturo (“Vasaturo”) stating that in 2004, Vasaturo, Pizzolo, Cicale, and Vincent Basciano Jr. sat at the same table at a wedding reception, at which Vasaturo and Pizzolo discussed the disappearance of Dominick Cirillo’s son, Nicky Cirillo. (Def. Appendix on Appeal (“A— ”) 249-53) According to the report, Pizzolo stated that Nicky Cirillo would never be found. When Vasaturo asked Pizzolo how he knew, “Pizzolo smiled[,] pointed to himself and gestured with his chin at Cicale, who was sitting across from them.” (A-252.)https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/New_Y ... t_al/1157/A Government letter, dated June 12, 2009, that included the following information: (i) According to Darren D’Amico, around 2002, Pizzolo shot D’Amico in the stomach, and Joseph Cammarano Sr. told D’Amico that “‘Uncle John’ (believed to be John Palazzolo) and ‘Frankie’ (believed to be Frank Borgongone) had it ‘all set up’ to ‘go clip’ Pizzolo, but that D’Amico believed this was untrue” and that D’Amico thought he was being set up to be murdered. (A-235.) D’Amico also stated that he was not involved in Pizzolo’s murder. (ii) According to an inmate at the Franklin Correctional Facility, in Malone, New York, Joseph Bonelli and Robert Benedetto had been “overheard discussing, among other things, that the reason that ‘Ace’ and ‘Chicale’ killed Randy is because Randy is the person that murdered ‘Quiet Dom’s’ son. The inmate also stated that at an unspecified previous time Anthony Federici had given ‘Hippy’ Zanfardino permission to kill Randy Pizzolo and Chris Castellano.” (iii) Richard Bette told cooperating witness Richard Cantarella that “while Berte was housed with Vincent Basciano at the . . . MCC, Basciano stated that “he wanted to beat [AUSA] Andres’s head in with a baseball bat” and, while housed with Joseph Massino at the MCC, Massino indicated that it was his “original idea to kill Andres.” (E A—23S.)

VB Bronx crew was very violent and deep in the drug biz. My guess is that is still the case today and with their rep plus legit killers, I’m sure they tax and rob dealers as well. Seems like a really strong street crew.
