I don't know. Did Kenji list him as a member in his book?

I don't know, Pogo.
Inre Lenny, in my mind, there has never been any question as to his (minimal association), if not made status in the LA LCN. I've wondered why, of late (last ten years or more), Lenny's name has been omitted from discussions about SoCA LCN in this forum.
I merely suggested reaching out to Kenji because he has communicated with us in the past and believe he has verified credibility for what was happening in LA LCN, circa the past 20 years.
Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.

The Mafia in all of SoCal - ALL - is ONLY La Eme. Everyone works for La Eme with the exception of a handful of street gangs that probably travel in groups given the green light on them. Illegal numbers rackets dominated by one of the largest L.A. gangs who essentially are OWNED by the Eme. The "dreaded" Mongols pay a street tax; and they were green lighted prior to groveling back to have it lifted. Wake Up!
What about African American gangs, Armenian gangs or Hells Angels. I don't believe they pay street tax to La Eme.

Armenians fall under the Mexican mafia...
There’s even a member from the Armenian power gang from East hollywood who’s a made member in la eme.
Mher “Capone” Darbinyan Is a made Mexican mafia member. It’s weird to me they fell in line with the Hispanics cause there is more Armenians in Glendale than in Armenia , plus they have very close ties to Russian organized crime... most of my Armenian friends speak Armenian and Russian..

Plus they are such a proud fucking race of people you wouldn’t expect them to take orders from anyone, very proud people... it’s crazy how somehow they’re all experts in fraud and identity theft... and they all drive Crazy luxury cars. I am actually pretty good friends with a few of them which is rare because usually they don’t associate with anyone who is in Armenian. If anyone has any questions specifically about Armenian based crime in Los Angeles or Armenian power the gang let me know and I’ll try to answer your questions

I don’t know how familiar you are with California Hispanic gangs... all “surenos” which are Mexican street gangs from Bakersfield all the way down to the San Diego/Mexico border all fall under the control of the Mexican mafia.. besides a few hoods over the years ( the maravilla gangs, opal street, Lowell street) basically every single Hispanic street gang from Bakersfield to the Mexican border pays a street tax (from drug sales) to the Mexican mafia... there’s different made members who control different parts of Los Angeles and different towns and such... all these gangs while writing their graffiti they leave a “13” or a “X3” which stands for the 13th letter in the alphabet which is “M” or “eme” which refers to the Mexican mafia... now for whatever reason when Armenian power gang started in Los Angeles for some reason they adopted the “13” and pay taxes to the mafia... the whole reason like 100 made members who are locked down in prison (most for life) can control half the state of California’s street gangs from behind bars, is that they know that if you’re an active gangster that sooner or later you’re going to end up in prison.. where they run the show.. so fall in line on the street, then when you get to state prison, every single Mexican gang south of Bakersfield are all united, your biggest rival gang in the streets who could have killed multiple od your friends, you have to squash all of that in prison and become one.. they’re considered “southerners” in prison or SUR, southern United raza, and they are the foot soldiers for the Mexican mafia members who are calling the shots in prison...

Sorry that was kind of all over the place .. it could take days to get fully in depth. But in short when you asked is Armenian power gang allies of la eme or getting extorted by la eme. Lol the answer is both. Every south California street gang pays a Tax to the eme but at the same time they also all basically fall under associates of eme..

I have at least 15 or 16 members still alive in 2001.
Vincent "Jimmy" Caci

Philip “Fat Philly” Dioguardi
Michael "Porno Mike" Esposito
Tommaso "Tommy" Gambino
Luigi Gelfuso (Died in 2001)
Russell "Rusty" Massetta
Carmen "Flipper" Milano
Peter Milano
Robert "Charles Caci/Bobby" Milano
Robert “Bobby’ Paduano
Michael “Rizzi” Rizzitello
John “Johnny V” Vaccaro
Rocco "Rocky Bigfoot" Zangari
Was Raymond “Rocky” DeRosa still alive in 2001?

What about Lenny Montana, Jr.? He is still alive and runs Enzo's Pizzeria in Westwood (L.A.) by UCLA.
Not to rehash discussions we've all had over the years here and on RD, but it is alleged that Montana was made by Pete Milano in the 90's. Those of you who still communicate with Kenji can get his take on that, if you really care.
Kenji said Paduano wasn't made. I don't think Lenny Montana was either.
OK and checked this site and apparently "Robert Paduano was set to be made but they were tailed by the cops and it was called off so he never became a member." I've never read his boo so I don't know.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

That's not entirely true, there's a significant movement of Anti-Sureno Armenians plus a lot of Armenians are just involved in OC in LA without being tied to eme

I was speaking on guys from apX3 for the most part.... and yeah I know 2 friends doing fed time right now who weren’t tied to any surenos, they fucked with some Russians.. but also when I was around and issues came home, one ran to an Armenian from Hollywood 18st, while the other one ran to guys from Armenian power... lol it was about one guy trying to set the other one up to steal his maybach, which he acquired as stolen, lol...
Tried reading Kenji Gallo's book. I skipped through the earlier chapters about his party animal drug slinging days. Once you get to his mob activity it seems to be stories about shaking down porn shop owners and which porn star is gay, etc. Definitely a gen x era associate who was active in the 'who even cares anymore?' era of the west coast mob.
His blog is kind of interesting. Seems to be a lot more content about past Dragna and Milano guys but the fact that more of this wasn't in his book makes me wonder if he's just taking cookie cutter info and placing himself into some stories the way all these new YouTube mobsters do.
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”
It was alway weird to me how spread out the Los Angeles family is... guys in San Diego , Orange County, a bunch of weird places.. their guys were super spread out.. I would have thought from growing up here that the base for them should have been around the San Fernando valley . Where caci was. Mike Esposito was also in this area... just especially in the 70’s, the literally whole entire pornography business was centered around San Fernando valley... I feel like they should have focused on that area and it would have benefited them a ton, they could have shook down like a hundred porn companies, sold drugs to all the people in the industry, loans, etc.. this is just coming from someone who grew up in the Los angles area.

According to Kenny "Kenji" Gallo in the 70s/80s/90s they were extorting porn companies.
