Anthony Arillotta Q&A

[givememysocks]

I was able to get in touch with him through IG and he has agreed to answer a few questions for us. He told me that he is currently busy but that he will be willing to answer some questions in the future. Post all your questions now so I can have them ready to go when the time comes.

First thing that comes to my mind would be the Genovese admin when he was last on the street, and if he knew anything about the admins of the other families at that time as well

[bluehouse]

How did he meet the geas brothers and was he proud when geas killed whitey bulger

[moneyman]

What is his overall impression of Barney Bellomo? Not only regarding his official status in the family, do all Genovese members more or less respect him and hold him in high regard? What unique characteristics does Bellomo have that separate him from other mafia members? We have all heard how Bellomo is exceptionally low key and is adept at evading law enforcement. Arillotta was close with high level Genovese Bronx members.
Perhaps Arillotta can share a story about Bellomo that other Genovese members have told him that is unique and something we haven't heard before.

What's left of the Springfield crew?

Was Gene Borello correct in his assessment that the modern Genovese family was relatively non-violent? The number of hits, assaults and indictments in the 2000's and 2010'ssuggest that it is just as violent as the other families.

If he could elaborate on what was going on in Connecticut for him and what they've had out here? He mentioned a junkyard/auto parts spot that he was collecting from in New Haven that I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with. If he knew Rooster back then I know Rooster was once close to the Gambinos back in the day but pretty sure he was with the Genovese during Arrilotas time.Any info.about CT. guys,spots,other crews besides the normal Fairfield County Gambino/Genovese. Regardless if he answers I appreciate you giving it a shot.

Be nice to hear his thoughts on the state of the patriarca family.

I’d love to know the names of all the made members of his crew while he was captain.

[richard_belding]

At what point did the Springfield crew stop sending tribute to NY, as he claims? Was it before his troubles with Nigro, or a longer-standing decision?


Was Gary Westerman a part of the crew or just associated due to his family ties

[CTamg65]

+1 Cheech when I heard arrilota on that podcast I definitely wish we could have heard some more details

[JCB1977]

Did the Springfield crew ever have problems with Patriarca Crime Family members? If so, who and what?

[Boston+matt14]

Did the Springfield crew ever have any piece of the Mardi Gras or did they ever shake it down?
