Younger (blood) family members exceeding older member in rank

Post by Fughedaboutit »

Reading Leonetti’s book again and it says how his uncle Nicky Buck and skinny razor proposed Scarfo. How long had his uncle been made at that point? Scarfo ended up leapfrogging his uncle in mob standing.

The other example I recall was Vincent Asaro’s son ended up being his Captain?

What are some other similar examples?

Nick Piccolo was made about 5 years before Scarfo and the rest of the Piccolos.

Faffy Iannarella outranked his father during the Scarfo era. Joe Pungitore was made 4 years before his older brother Anthony. Johnny Chang was the last of the Ciancaglini brothers to be made, though he was in jail when Joseph and Michael were inducted. I think Gene Gotti was straightened out before John. Junior Gotti outranked his uncle Peter in the 90s when he was the de facto Acting Boss.

Gene Gotti was made about a year before John. I bet those 3 or so months after Gotti got out of Green Haven Were torture knowing his younger brother was a made guy and he wasn’t yet 😂.

Joey Merlino outranked his father by the 1990s. Little Allie Boy Persico outranked his uncle Teddy.

I believe Greg Scarpa Jr. was his dad's captain at one point.

Ralph Scopo had an immense amount of power for a soldier, equal to or above that of most captains in that family or any family for that matter.
