What happened to those crews from the 90s that did work for the mafia, I understand some got made like Fabrizio Defrancisci but what happened to the rest of the guys from, Giannini Cafe, Bath Avenue, the rival gang that Jimmy Calandra mentions that Joe Waverly came from, Tanglewood Boys, etc.

Most of them died, went to jail, or cooperated. Fabrizio DeFrancisci got made and then went to prison like a year later.

Jimmy Calandra is on Facebook and appears to still be living in New York.

John Petruccelli was made by the Luccheses and is now doing life on a murder conviction.

Notable members of the Gianni Crew that remained in the life are Anthony “Ace” Aiello, Paul Ragusa, and Vito Guzzo, all currently incarcerated. Many other members flipped and were relocated.

Yes,its true what his father but why the Gambinos killed his son and not him? Slap a made guy is a rule break but also kill a son of made man that have nothing to do with the episode. This happen in Sicilian mafia.

Not sure but the genovese must have told him to just accept it, bet it ate away at him knowing he got his son killed over a slap
