Like when they indicted that guy scoops in philly he was held with out bail for 1 yr awaiting trial his only charge was being a member of the family

Something about this Enzo guy is not sitting right. I can only assume that after being shot, admitting he was made, and showing up on a reality tv "show" (I use that term loosely, I know it's a self-produced / self-created YouTube short) about being a cowboy - that he'd be chased or shelved. He's still living in Queens and operating, out of all things, a construction company. I guess being a made guy really does have its perks - even if he's shelved or whatever, that exact type of situation would result in him having dozens of hands in his pockets and all sorts of beefs if it were just a regular guy.

I could be wrong but I believe he was with that "bronx faction" of the Bonnanos 'lead' by John P, another Whitestone guy

Enzo Stagno was made in early 2013 got shot in May of that year and was shelved. His life as a made man was short lived.

Do we know why he was shelved?


They found out about him being a cowboy?

He was questioned over the shooting and told detectives he was made. Not sure why the Lucchese's wanted him dead it was around the time there was a lot of tension between the two families. Seems a bit extreme to try and kill a member.

I thought Terrance Caldwell shot Stagno on behalf of Mike Meldish? He was getting the Bonanno's back for the beating Ernie Aiello gave him.

You're probably right actually. There would've been more drama and fallout if the Lucchese's tried to hit a Bonanno button.

Pennisi says other people in other families looked down on the Lukes for using Caldwell as a shooter because it made it seem like they had no one capable in their family to do the work. I’m not sure how true that it is but it seems plausible.

That's interesting. Farming out hits to outsiders isn't exactly unheard of. And, traditionally at least, the Luccheses haven't been short on shooters.

Thanks for posting. I don't buy what this Penninsi is selling, he comes off as full of crap to me.

I agree. He’s poor little victim story seems fake to me. My BS detector is going off.

[JohnnyS]

It will be interesting to see who the Lucchese's turn to after DeSantis and Dellorusso are indicted.

[bluehouse]

Pennisi is a very hot topic atm.I think because hes the first made guy to have a blog

[queensnyer]

Is enzo the baker retarted ?????????????????

95% of them are retarted

Probably someone we don’t know about. Remember these guys induct people every year so who knows who’s up&coming and ready to take the wheel. We only know what informants/news indictments tell us.

I think it would be smart to look at the guys who were at the meeting when the power was transitioned from Crea & the Bronx to DeSantis & Brooklyn. Georgie Neck and Frankie Bones were both there with DeSantis and Dellorusso so I'd guess one or both would move into power positions if Mike and Patty got taken off the street. One of them is probably already a captain, someone had to take Pattys Brooklyn crew when he moved up into the admin.

Does anyone have a link to the Stagno cowboy video?

Remember though Caldwell even without Londonio was supposedly very close to Meldish ,I think they were close friends it said Meldish used to bring him for cancer treatments . I'm thinking Meldish was very paranoid at the time because of the supposed beef with Madonna,the thing with the girl and Mancuso,,and the beating he took by the bonanno guys. Using Caldwell may have been needed cause he was able to get close to him and meet up with him.

Sounds like this guy is super jealous of Dellorusso. Guy was running the airport unions at like 30 years old. What was Pennisi doing?
